What I think? I think you didn't read the article well... (or you can't
stand the fact that Epson is no longer the self-evident #1 choice).
The reason for the change is (according to John Cone):
- Canon printers are *way* faster
- The replacable head is is a *great* feature for changing between B/W
and colour
- The repacable head is *way* easier to clean, just in plain ordianary
water

BTW, he announces the same system for Epson! (maybe it will take some
more time, Epson printers are notorious for clogging..)
