Printer replacement suggestion?

The print head in my Canon Pixma iP8500 has packed in and I have to decide whether to replace it or buy a new printer.

Replacement print head: About £95

Looked at: Canon Pixma iP7250 (£60 or £70) & Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4535 DWF (£170)

Bought the Epson but didn't like the photo print quality cf my old iP8500 and returned it. It has pigmented ink so perhaps not a great idea. (Probably lucky to get a refund having used it. Thank you Curry's).

I'm not sure whether to have a punt on the Canon Pixma iP7250 which uses pigment-based black ink for text on plain paper, and dye-based inks for photo printing or buy a print head costing more than a new printer.

Has anyone a suggestion for a printer which will print as well as the Canon Pixma iP8500?
