Cannon or Epson?

[Roy Cummins]

Color head on my Epson 1280 just died! Replacement of the head will cost between $150-$175 US. Thought before I spent the money I might do an upgrade either to the 1280 Silver or the Cannon S 9000. Question is: Have the 1280 repaired, go to the 1280 Silver or the S9000? I respect your thoughts and am anxious to hear from anyone who has an opinion!

Regards,

Having a 1280 I am bummed to think that I may have to make this decision soon.
Saw a discussion earlier (I forget where, but not here) about some of the advantages of the new Canon printers...
One thing I will check out is the ability to get different types of ink. Sometimes I need cheap ink for Christmas cards, sometimes I want a higher quality inks (both color & b&w) for special prints...
