Another consideration might be the upcoming gloss version of the K7
inks. Glop is added to the mix, so the extra 1800 position would allow
7 dilutions plus glop. The 2200 would still work, using 6 dilutions
plus glop, but the 1800 gives you more options.

In my case I use a common K plus 3 Sepia and 3 Neutral K7 ink. Works
fine in my 2200 right now but I'll be one ink short when gloss is
available.
