Canon i900D vs. Pixma iP3000

[OraDBA]

My local Circuit City has the i900D for $85 and the iP3000 for $77. I know the i900D is a 6-tank, but I think it's older and slower when compared to the 4-tank the iP3000. I'm looking for a photo printer for my wife and I already have an i9900 with Hobbicolor refills so I want to stick to a BCI-6 printer. Any suggestions between the two?

Thx,
Dylan

Here is a quote from a review I fount on the i900D. "i900D vs i960

The i900D and i960 are very similar printers. The main difference is in print speed and the presence of the memory card reader.

The i900D has a built in memory card reader which allows you to make prints directly from a memory card, or to transfer the contents of the memory card to a PC. The i960 on the other had lacks the memory card feature, but makes up for it with twice the print speed due a a larger print head. If you don't think you'll ever use the memory card functions of the i900D, then the i960 looks like a better buy. Not only is it faster, but it seems to sell on the street for around $40 less then the i900D."

Here is a link to the reveiw: http://www.photo.net/equipment/canon/i900d/

The Canon iP3000 is a 4 ink printer that uses the three color cartridges to create a composite black, which most of the time comes out a horrid yellow/green black.
