Canon PRO 9000MKII ?

Thinking of picking up a 7D package with the Canon Pixma PRO9000MkII. Looking for comments from those have had some experience with this printer.

Thanks

I bought one and love it. I have done all sizes up to 13 x 19 (no panoramas yet) and the quality is great. I don't think the archival quality is up to the 9500, but at my age, that shouldn't be a problem! I have had older Epson and HP dedicated photo printers, and this one is by far the best. The prints come out pretty quickly once they start, but there is a lot of 'activity' behind the scenes before the paper starts feeding - maybe 10 to 15 seconds. I bought the Red River sampler pack, and have been using their Arctic Polar Luster and really like it. It is a big sucker, so you do need some room. I am completely satisfied with it, but I have not compared it to any of the plus $1,000 printers, so take this review with a grain of salt.

PS my initials are DW too!

Thanks...sounds like a good deal the 7d and the printer for $1799 after the $400 rebate.
I get the age thing just turned 62 on the 15th ( Ides of March )
