New Proofing device

[WharfRat]

I am looking to add/replace my aging HP5500.
What is everyone thinking is the best choice out there for a proofing device (HP or Epson)
Must be supported with the newer version of META RIPs and proofing workflow.

Epson 9900 currently.
Check the other thread in Color Management section for confirmation.
Epson 9900 cover up to 98% of Pantone with proper rip and setting.
We have it and it works fine.
The only feature that is still not supported at this time is colour certified proof which is an option if you have optional Spectrophotometer on the EPson itself.
I've been told and promised that support is coming in next workflow release, around Feb-March time frame.
