Paul, I use an Epson 2100 for most applications and with a more specific set up, for your needs, it should perform well with most sources and the media you mention.
I also use a 7600 a 1290 and an 810, which I have to say, for a 3 colour cheap desktop (�120 originally), it ain't bad. But for versatility, proper colour management and control, pick up one of the new epsons within your budget and make sure all your drivers, profiles and media are in check and you should get the results you are after. I do use other printers but I'm fairly loyal to Epson as I've used them for years and am happy to continue, if a little bias.
