Not really.  On the 1400 I rather like the Y-K setup, and not much 
more is needed. With my 2200, I've added a 10% UC MK to smooth out 
the middle values.  It ads a bit of warmth, but not that much.

To be honest, I'm looking at the other sources of gray inks now.  The 
HP gray initially looks to be stable in the simple C6 base, as does 
the Epson UC MK -- perhaps as a warm toner.  I'm also curious about 
the Canon offering (and waiting for some spectro info on it).  These 
alternative gray inks might be very interesting inputs, particularly 
if the black inks dilute well and have neutral tones.  If they are 
diluted and used with Eboni as the MK, they may still be rather 
inexpensive.  But all this will take time to sort out and test.  For 
now, my main 13" printer is a 1400 with Eboni-6 Y and K in it.  I the 
Y-K profile 50/50 with a 3-MK profile, using QTR and it's sliders 
that allow mixing profiles.
