I think Paul understates the difference ;)

The 3000 has such large dots that even with a four tone ink set, it's
hard pressed to match what a smaller drop machine could do with just
black and light black.

If you want a nice 17x22 machine, be on the lookout for a used or
refurbished Epson 4000. Typically, they run about $600-800 used.
