More colors, gradients, gamut, pigment archival capabilities... but you're right, I don't need much more.
The scanning, duplex printing, and document printing capabilities aren't something I would want to give up. The printer is genuinely amazing.

Should Epson release a tank photo printer, I will scoop that one up in a heartbeat.
On the 2nd print it's slightly faded, on the 3rd print it's gone.
I have it chipped. Before I go digging and breaking something, I thought I would ask here for advice.
