The 1400 is smoother than the 1800, but the big jump is to 1.5 pl drops.  I
think the 1800 is a probably still a good old workhorse.  

Today (with the 1400 still) I used the QTR slider to combine the cooler
Black Only and the smoother Eboni-6 profiles.  It ends up giving tone and
smoothness controls for yet more options.  This 1400 is amazing -- simply
the best prints I've seen.  Among other things it looks like Arches Hot
Press (uncoated water color paper) can reach photo quality for display.
It's smooth enough, at least on the 1400, and can hit a 1.6 dmax with
multiple Eboni MKs on the 1800.  (I sure hope Epson makes a 1.5 pl large
format printer.)
