I have a R1800 that needs service and rather than spending the money to repair it I am considering a R1900 instead.

Is it an upgrade that will be worth the $200. or $300. (guess) over the repair cost?

Is it likely to work better with Windows 7?

I'd appreciate any input, as I would like to make a decision pretty soon.

Thanks, Tapeman

There's an in-depth review of the R1900 HERE (external link), and I think he compares it to the 1800.

Has anyone had their R1800 repaired or adjusted?

After reading the review, I am leaning toward the repair option.

Epson's website shows recommended drivers for Windows 7, but when you look at the drivers they say that they are for Vista or XP

Has any one had success with Windows 7 and a R1800.
