I just bought a new Epson 3880 and am considering using Cone inks to cut costs. Any reasons not to?

Been using Cone Inks for almost two years, no problems, saving a bunch on ink costs.

Thank you for the replies. Have any of you heard or read anything about print longevity with this ink?

p.s. I am aware that Epson has some dye in their formula for the ink that comes with the printer and that the Cone inks do not. However, does that necessarily mean that the Cone has greater longevity?
