I am considering purchasing one of them and went to a dealer to test them today. The dealer printed a few test prints that I brought and also walked me through the driver menu. He was printing from an older version of PS on Windows 7 PC. I was surprised that I could not see an option let PS manage colors and the option in the printer menu to turn off the color management (it only had options color and B&W).
The guy who did the demo was not a photographer and so he may have missed something. Any views from those who have one of the printers and use a Mac? Also, do you easily find profiles for these printers?
Note: I was also looking at the Epson 7900 and 9900 but as on infrequent user, the reports about clogging deterred me (and they are also at least 60% more expensive in Europe).
Thanks.

PS: Makes me cry to read U.S. prices (2,500$ net) and compare the prices in Belgium. Here, the price is Euro 3,900 (after a Euro 1,000 cash back) + 21% sales tax for the 8300 (the 6300 is Euro 2700 plus tax):
