I have a 4800 and a 7000. I don't think that I would even consider a 2400. ; ) I was quite surprised that the initial charge of ink used up 35% or more of more 110 carts. I have put in the 220ml and have been very happily printing away. The quality of the B&W prints, while not possible to split tone, can be dialed in quite nicely. For me it was a step down in size and some thing that I had to consider for some time. If you don't plan on printing much, perhaps the smaller printer will make you happy. I would not be surprised that the next series print in the 17" would make you even happier. I did get mine while Epson was having a rebate so it was only 1495.00. The prints are very nice and all my printing is with the MK ink.

Gary does make a good point. It almost pushed me over the edge when I was in the market. The 4800 comes with 8 cartridges that cost $70/cartridge from www.atlex.com. That's over $500 worth the ink. Factoring that in, the prices for the 2400 and 4800 are even closer. Still, I am happy I bought the 2400.

The 4800 comes with much more ink than the 2400, so it really is a good value.
