The R1800 appears to be gone from B&H stocks where it was on sale with
rebate for $400 as little as a week or two ago. I came close to buying
one. Maybe I should have. Anyhow the replacement R1900 is available at
$530. Revised ink set claiming better skin colors. Also has a "gloss
optimizer" and two different blacks. The 2400 is $730 at B&H and offers
3 blacks for better B&W prints.
Photo-i doesn't have a review of the 1900 but the 1800 and 2400 are here
