You really need to specify what media you're talking about.  The K3 
and Ultrachome inks have larger gamut than any new printer on matte 
papers.  The Canon has a larger gamut on glossy satin and the HP Z 
printers seem to have the smallest total gamut on glossy and matte.  
The gamut levels may be in flux as they come out with updates to 
firmware and drivers that set ink mixing for different media types so 
the results may change.

It's resolution where they are nearly equal not gamut, unless you 
mean on glossy satin where they are all somewhat acceptable.

I feel the differences are huge among the printers that are on the 
market but the sweet spot of the market right now seems to be the 
ipf8000 when it comes to operational costs, up front cost, speed, 
gamut (glossy and matte), resolution, paper handling.  I believe it 
has the shortest ink permanence rating but believe me I won't care 40-
80 years from now.
