David,

So you're saying that swapping the MIS MK and Epson PK in the 1800
would likely cause more problems and waste more ink than swapping the
MIS MK and MIS PK (assuming I use K4 inks) in the 2400?

I guess one other advantage of the 1800 that I forgot to mention is
that it uses less ink for B&W prints, and since no color is used I
assume the cartridges would last longer overall than the 2400.
