Digital BW, The Print

I have been reading the discussions of late, particularly those 
surrounding the 2400/2200. I really am at a loss as to what I should 
do. There seems to be a few like myself who are beyond a simple push 
print on a cheap photo printer, but not at the building a custom 
profile, with all the D'max detecting spectrogizmos with a 1024bit 
file with a 19 cartridge custom blended oak aged, triple distilled 
ink set.

That I live in the middle of nowhere in a country (Namibia)that has 
less then a dozen high end privately owned ink jet photo printers, 
less then a dozen resident D2X/1DSmkll's makes access to a dedicated 
high end print lab non-existent. If you are a serious photographer 
here regardless of color or B & W you have to get it done on your 
own. There are no schools, seminars, workshops and we suffer with a 
maximum 64kbs net connection unless you want to pop for a dedicated 
satellite uplink.

I do well with my real job, so for me it is not a question of money. 
It is a question of diminishing returns. 

So here is the question I have a 2400 on order, I have a 2200 in 
perfect condition sitting on my desk. Will the 2200 with a dedicated 
B & W ink set, either MIS or Cone, using their profiles, on a high 
end paper produce a noticeably superior output to the naked eye then 
the 2400 with the Epson ink set on a high end paper in the ABW mode?

I remain humbled by the depth and extent of the knowledge exhibited 
by the primary contributors to this forum. I recognize that my 
question is on the face of it simple and is certainly not overly 
technical but in a sense it is a real world question.
