Thanks, Geoff. I don't need the roll capability, so the reasons for me to 
get the 4900 would be the improvement resulting from the HDR inks and the 
special heads. Problem is, I don't have any way of telling how important I'd 
find this difference. The Luminous Landscape 7900 review suggested that the 
difference is substantial.
