Right now I'm using the 2200 along with OS X 10.3.6 without problems.  
There is a way to switch between the glossy black and matte black 
without deleting and reinstalling drivers.  I also use the $50 Quadtone 
RIP software for black&white output, and even the folks at the local 
Epson pro dealer had to admit that my b&w output with Ultrachromes was 
better than that of the 4000 with the Epson drivers.

If I were in your shoes & did not need a wide carriage printer 
immediately, I'd hold off until the wide carriage version of the R800 
appears in the US.
