I'm quite happy with the R2400. Colour prints are great, but B&W is where it really shines & is why I got it. I would have loved the R4800 but there was no way I could justify the cost. If I ever need larger than A3, I'll go to one of the local labs.
A full set of inks is relatively expensive (about AU$200), but I don't tend to print a lot (mainly because I don't have anywhere to hang the prints :-), so the ink cost is spread over 6 months or more. I really can't recommend with regards to operating costs, I haven't bothered to work out a per print cost. If you want to print A3+ sized prints & excellent, IMO, B&W output I highly recommend the R2400. If you don't need A3 size & aren't fussed with B&W output, from everything I've heard & read the Epson R800 is supposed to be very good.
