I'm guessing I'll be swapping back and forth. Have color clients that
want the art papers too.

No and I'm ready for a straighjacket I'm so mad it's not here yet.
I've had to turn down some jobs.

Well, I've seen plenty of 4800 ABW output, and direct comparisons
between it and Ptone output with the same file and some lengths gone
to to try and match. The quads still have an edge, of course, on the
art papers. 
But I'll still do what I can to maximize the K3 output, then we'll
see. THere are a lot of things I intend to try in StudioPrint and with
the profiling. I'm kind of wondering why there have been no reports
here from 4800 users that are also QTR enthusiasts comparing output
between QTR and ABW with K3s.
