A little thread dredge....
The Photography Show is on in the UK at the moment, so they've got a ton of show deals on. I'd gone with my head set on the P7000, but the show got to me a little, and there wasn't a lot of love out there for the P7000! The Canon people maybe got to me....
However, deal wise, I could get:
Pro-2000 for £2400 (~$3200) including a spare set on 160ml inks on top of the starter inks that come with it.
P7000 for £1700 (~$2260), with 3 year warranty.
I managed to get a couple of stunning test prints from a Pro 2000. One of the supposedly neutral suppliers also did a comparison test print from the P7000, but it looked awful, and they were pushing the Canon quite heavily - don't think it was a like for like comparison. I've still not managed to get a P7000 test print.
With the deal on the inks, what would you do?
