Printer A3+ Epson Stylus Photo R1900 thoughts?

Mark,
It was my understanding that the GLOP cartridge on the 1900 was to provide a glossy appearance that can't be normally achieved by pigment inks, but is inherent to dye-based inks. As such, the 1410 doesn't need the additional gloss cartridge.

Yes, this is what i have read. The dye based inks have the advantage of more vivid colours and a broader colour gamut.

Cost factor aside If the pro's for the 1900 are only the longevity of the print then i will go with the 1410 simply because of the vivid colours and broad colour range.

The other factor i have read is that the pigment based inks clog the head more than a dye which makes sense, i can imagine a pig ink being thicker than a dye). Since i will only be printing for myself there will be longish peroods where the printer will not be used. I don;t want clogging to be an issue.
