I find the reds much more vibrant compared to RA4 (paper color process). I find the RA4 reds to be "muddy" in comparison. There are other differences as well, with the advantages out weighing the disadvantages in most cases.
As an interesting side note, at a printer contest at PMA several years ago one inkjet printer lost the contest because they didn't "match" the RA4 prints as well as some of the other printers. People get used to muddy reds and when they see vibrant ones they assume there is something wrong. What they should have compared to was the original scene. The inkjet would blow the RA4 away if they had had a bowl of fruit with bright red apples in it!

My prints from the epson 2100 seem to be deeply lacking in color compared to ones from photo labs.
