I also prefer the Epson 1500 for all around general workhorse printing as
well as acceptable color photo output.  Note that coming in January, the
1500 will be supported in NT 4.0, and Birmy will release it's 1500
Postscript driver.  That could really tip the scale against the Epson Pro
since it's Postscript is also Birmy software.  The Pro will still probably
out perform the 1500 in high quality color photos due to it's printer head
arraingement, but not by much I bet.  And after considering all the extra
paper handling capabilites of the 1500 at half the price of the Pro, that's
not much to worry about.
