Is it worth upgrading an Epson 875 to a Canon i960?

I just bought a new Canon G5 digital camera and happened to be in a BestBuy
looking at camera cases and started chatting with a Canon sales rep working
in the store. He told me that they have a deal going on through the end of
January where if I buy an i960 printer I can get a $150 rebate since I also
bought a Canon digital camera. Getting that printer for $49 seems like a
great deal, but I have to play the stupid rebate game - which I hate with a
passion!

My question is, I have a perfectly good Epson 875 printer that works just
fine. How would the Canon print quality compare to the Epson? Better? The
same? Worse? I have been out of the loop for a while since the dreaded
orange shift problems on the Epson - is this still an issue with any
printers?

Any comments or suggestions from anyone who has used either or both of these
printers would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I bought the Canon i950 (I think thats the one the 960 replaces) BEFORE the price came down
and I havent regretted it for an instant.

I already owned an Epson 875 EPX and an Epson Photo 825.

The Canon blows them BOTH out of the water as far as speed and quality are concerned.
 
The + with epson is that you can use pigment ink and
have long lasting life photos.
I don't know if thermal printers can use pigment ink but epson YES and with
the right profile they are great.

Bullshit, I've been using my s900 since they came out and have printed hundreds
and hundreds of pictures. Have replaced 50+ ink cartriges (Canon only) with NO
print head or clogging problems of ANY kind.
