The MIS inksets tend to be variable tones. That is, you can make them go 
warm or cold depending on how you use them. The Cone inksets are fixed 
tones. That is, you choose the color of the inkset ahead of time when 
you buy the inkset.

Also, the MIS inks tend to be less expensive than the Cone inks.

That said, I'm using the Cone selenium PiezoTones in a 7600 with 
excellent results.
