I can't say for sure whether cleaning carts are needed, but it's the 
safe way to go.

Out of curiousity, I just pulled the Claria carts from my 260 that 
were in there only because someone wanted a profile for that setup.  
I re-installed the MIS carts.  They were color carts with Eboni, but 
the MIS color inks use the same base as the UT inks.  I printed a 
purge page and checked the nozzles.  I did, in fact, have one gap.  I 
can't tell what caused that, but it's possible there is a slight 
incompatibility between the inksets.  So, to be totally safe, you 
might want to go ahead and purchase the cleaning carts.
