Frank, there have also been a lot of discussions on the digital B&W forum concerning the superiority of the HP Vivera pigment inks (not the dye based ones) over Epson and Canon; so 
you may want to consider the HP9180. "The HP pigments have done significantly better than 
Epson pigments in Wilhelm Research fade tests. See:
http://www.wilhelm-research.com/hp/Z3100.html
In fact, HP claims to have the "best photo permanence on the market.  See:

I have the 9180 and have been very pleased with the color prints I get from it, and I am 
currently experimenting using it for B&W; in the past I have got some beautiful B&W prints 
from it.  I believe HP makes another less expensive 13" model that uses the same inks.
