I'm not really sure what you're after.
You started out talking about being OK with 8x10, but are now talking about
gallery images. :)
Personally, I wouldn't want to be limited to 8x10. I have the 4000, which
prints 17 inches wide and as long as you want. It uses HUGE ink cartridges
(about 10 times larger than the individual cartridges found on the R1800).
While it seems rather expensive, it's not so bad when you realize that it
comes with about $500 worth of ink in the box. This makes the $1700-1800
price tag not so bad.

Once you get up into Epson's professional line of printers (which start with
the 400/4800), you're talking about a very different beast. They are built
to withstand the rigors of professional throughput, and are simply in a
different league. The fact that the 4000 is as affordable as it is leads me
to believe it is a good alternative for a lot more people than realize it.
You don't see these printers in stores, so many people simply aren't aware
of them. If you do a lot of printing, and want the capability to print very
large images, they make a great deal of sense.
