Digital BW, The Print

Hello Everybody, 
i´m interested in B&W Printing since two or three years now and do all
my printing with an Epson 4800 and the Quad Tone RIP using original
Epson inks, so I´m not a total newbie to that. So far I printed on
Epson Glossy Paper. Now I want to take my B&W printing a step further
and want to buy a special B&W ink-system for my Epson 7600. I need a
color Printer as well, so I decided to convert the 7600.
So my question is:  Piezography or MIS Inks ???
I want to print my panoramas as big as possible on Glossy and Matte
paper as well without changing tanks. As RIP I use the QTR also in
Future I guess, I´m satisfied with the results and the usability but
that's not a knock out criteria, I could use other Software too if
necessary. I think I don't want to tone my prints, so a system for B&W
only would work for me (no Sephia or Cyano Style …). The use of a
dedicated B&W System should give my prints a very high quality with as
much detail in Shadow and highlights as possible, fine transitions and
tonalities. I don't have a densitometer but a Gretag C1
Spectralphotometer and want to make my own profiles.
What would be your recommendation ?

Thanks
Florian

This is one option that can print matte and glossy B&W:

You'll need the color pigments unless you like very warm carbon 
prints.  So, the options are really whether you get an inkset that 
has them mixed in by the seller or whether you keep control of the 
mixing and thus tone.  The LC in the above approach is diluted 1:1, 
which makes the dots essentially invisible to the naked eye.  You can 
use MIS gloss optimizer as a base or probably also the C6 base at
