Digital BW, The Print

I have finally decided that the new printer I think I want is the Epson 2880.

I will be printing a lot of black & white photos and also color. Probably half and half. I don't print many glossy photos, mostly Matte and Satin finishes. A lot of them will be 13x19.

I am sure I will get very good color with this printer. But how good is the B & W printing? Will they have a color tint (green?)or any other color? Will this printer make VERY GOOD black and white with out any tint? 

I have thought of the Epson 1900 but I read that the color is superb but the b&w is not as good at the 2880. What is your opinion?

Also I want a CISS unit for this printer. Question, which one? What brand is recommended and what brand of ink.?

I now use an Epson 1280 converted to UT b&w ink and a Canon S9000 for my color. I want to shift to only one printer to do both. Again, your opinions appreciated.
