Agreed.  I should have read your original post more carefully.  I like
the idea of buying the larger cartridges for the 76/9600 and siphoning
the ink from them to use for the 2200.

For me, the choice is not so much between epson and 3rd party inks: it's
between buying separate printers dedicated to b&w and color, or one
printer that can do both with virtually the same high-quality results.
The extra longevity of the pigment inks is just icing for me; if any of
the dye-based inkjets could produce b&w without the metamerism and print
to 13x18, I'd gladly go that route.
