I think it would be close.  I'd rate Eboni only as probably having a slight
edge due to the dots being denser masses of carbon.  In general, in denser
masses of the pigments tend to protect each other from the elements (oxygen,
etc.) better.

The best of the C86s can be very good, not doubt about it.  (My C86 bands,
however.) If I could get that quality from my 7500 with Eboni only, I might
use it for my large display prints.
