The R2400is out  of my reach at the moment.
I'm going to end up with a refurb'd R1800 and  buy a black and white 
ink set for it in the next few months.

You'd do better to wait as long as you have to and follow Dave's advice.  
There are 2400's being sold on eBay that you can reach for. The difference is  
huge! An R1800 is in a different and really obsolete category for printing B/W.
