Running costs are also much lower later on because of the cartridge size - you change less often, so you waste less ink in flushing the pipes every time. I upgraded to the R3885 (R3880 in the USA) from the R2400 mainly to save on ink - and print larger, of course. The one disadvantage the the R3880 is that it does not have a roll paper option.
