From what I've seen, it is perhaps just as hit-or-miss with the 7000 and
9000, and the cost of fixing those is high.  The more I see of
mal-functioning 7000's, the happier I am with my old, 4-ink 3000.

Betty, the main reason I like my 1160 so much is that I load my own carts
and mix lots of my own ink.  It's easier to do this with a 4-ink printer
than with a 6-ink printer -- fewer inks to mess with.  Other than that, I
second what Antonis wrote.
