I'd definitely check out the cost to fix it. I recently had problems with my R800 not feeding paper and was thinking replacement. Took it to an Epson recommended service center here in the Milwaukee area and he did a CLA to remove a chip of paper that was blocking the feed sensor. Total cost 40 bucks. All done within 4 hours of when I brought it in. Told me a complete replacement feed mechanism would have only been another $20. Little different problem, obviously, but it wouldn't hurt to check the cost.
