Digital BW, The Print

Yeah, I agree --- same experience here --- i had 1280 for about a  
year, and then got 2200 it is better in all respects - if the price  
is similar, and/or you don't mind paying the extra, get the 2200...  
with QTR it works just great! From everything i've heard 2400 is of- 
course ideal... but i'm gonna wait for that one...
