The six ink printers I believe have an additional grey ink which is to provide better black & white prints. I currently have an MP610 which uses 5 inks, this produces great colour prints however black & white prints have a slightly green tinge to them.

If I was going for A4 then I personally would go for the MG6150 however if you are not likely to do Black & White printing then I would stick with one of the 5 ink system printers. Of course the ink costs are higher than a 5 ink system and you really do need to use genuine canon ink and paper to get the best quality prints.

I did consider an A3 printer but the sticking point for me was the physical space it took on a desk which of course is another consideration.
