I think it depends on how committed you are to the darkroom print/process. If you love it, and love the look of darkroom prints, then by all means go forward. Having done platinum prints for many years, and now wide format inkjet prints that even exceed those, I am not much of a fan of the darkroom. I question whether you will be able to get paper soon and I don't know if I will even be able to get film in 8x10 ini a couple of years. I also have a Century Universal, and a drum scanner. The quality is amazing. I'd say get yourself in front of some great b&w prints made by a real master on the inkjet and then decide... It's really a personal choice.
