QTR-Quadtone RIP

I'm about to buy a new printer but I want to plan ahead so I can
integrate it with my B&W workflow and QTR. Between the Epson 3800 and
the 4800, has anyone had the opportunity to work with both and be able
to "Pro and Con" the two machines as to their suitability for B&W work?

Thanks all.

Cheers
