Digital BW, The Print

Very helpful thread for me as I, too, am looking for a new printer in the 17-24" range. Three additional factors, though: 1) I'll be printing color as well as BW images on the same machine; 2) I tend to print furiously then lie fallow for a couple weeks; 3) my printing environment is typically of very low humidity (8,000 ft. elevation). 

From what I've read I'm leaning toward the Canon over the HP Z3200. Price is certainly one reason. But when looking at test prints from these two along with an Epson I gotta say the BW with the 5100 remains most neutral in changing light. A grain of salt the size of a bowling ball needs to be included, though, as I cannot be certain that the folks providing the test prints in each case and location did their best to optimize my gratis prints. 

Additional thoughts? 

Thanks, Phil
