"The Cynic" may be just that, but he doesn't have his facts straight.  
Makes one wonder about his motives.  If you contact D.A.K. and request
their catalog, you will see that the ad clearly states he got the
150's from Kodak to closeout because of their new 150+.  I don't recall
whether he says anything about Epson emulation, but he does mention
the 150 has a different casing and that its inkjet cartridge needs you
to use special paper to get a good print.  He also says that you can
put the 150+ cartridges in the 150.
