Aside from the ink battle, I would be happy with the Epson brand, I'll
look closely at the 3800 and 2400 specs (and thanks for the paper
tips).

Since I want the same result and control that I had in the darkroom, I
think I'll find one or two people using the printers and see for myself
the results.

Thanks for the tips and advice

The Epson 3800 seats 9 carts and has 8 ink channels and is cheaper when
switching the blacks. But the 2400 only seats 8 carts so you have to
physically switch the carts and it costs a lot of wasted ink to do it. 
 
If you co not want to spend $1500 then look at the two Canon printers.
Canon Pro9000 dye based or the more expensive Canon Pro9500 pigment
based. I hear that the Pro9500 produces a less vibrant print but
lasts longer. The Pro9000 produces a better glossy. One really needs
to see the results on a variety of prints and that is difficult unless
you know a few people that have these printers.
