P600.. R3000 has been discontinued...
Thanks for catching me on that. One of our printers in the R3000, and I haven't kept up with the smaller printers since we got it.
The R3000 (and I presume the P600) produces image quality that is equivalent to that of the bigger x900 (7900, 9900, 11900) series printers, but in a much smaller package. The ink cartridges are not nearly as large as those on the bigger printers, but they are significantly larger than the older 13" printers.
Whether the larger 17" carriage printers are worthwhile for our OP is an interesting question. The largest prints he mentioned were 11" x 14", so the P600 will handle that size quite well. As to the question of whether the larger and more expensive printers would be worth it, the answer is "it depends" — is he making a lot of prints or a few, what are the cost trade-offs in his circumstances between printer cost and ink cost, does the size of the printer matter, and more.
Fortunately, there are fine printers at a range of price points and sizes these days.
