I think one consideration is whether enthusiast "fine art" folk take them on in quantity and they start to develop specialised inks, RIPS, curves profiles etc etc. Right now Epson have that world stitched up. The HP does sound promising from what I've read. The competition has to be a good thing too.

I don't think there's any question it's coming, and I don't really give a rat's butt whether or not it makes a dent in the Epson base - I don't own HP stock, I'm just looking for the best printer for the money. But that aside, we're not talking about something like an established camera user base, where people have thousands and thousands invested in a lens system. We're talking about a printer, and people replace printers at the drop of a hat, especially when we're talking about the $600-900 printer market, not the multi-thousand oversize printer market.
