Quesitons:Epson 3880 Models

MomaZunk

So besides $300, what is the difference between the 3 models of the 3880?
I have looked at a couple of websites and the Epson site, and it is not obvious to me the difference between:

Standard Edition (CA61201-VM)
Designer Edition (SP3880DES)
Signature Worthy Edition (SP3880SW)

I am ready to take advantage of the $300 rebate, but need to figure out which one.

Thanks,

Here's what I found on Epson.com under the "Features and Benefits" tab:

OK...I guess I missed the info.
I do not believe I need the RIP at this time, and I do not need the paper at this point, so I will save the money for now.

That is a great printer. You will love it. I have it's little brother the 2880. It is fantastic but likes the ink. The 3880 is much better in that area due to the bigger cartridges. Great choice in machines.

I am looking forward to it. Now just to clear a spot for it.
