It is time to replace my old Epson Stylus Pro 3800, it has served well. With what should I replace it? The 3800 has been almost perfect. What would be an equivalent Epson replacement ?

Without a question, the Epson SureColor P800 Printer — unless you want a larger printer.

Epson SureColor P800. Terific printer with all the good points of the 3800/3880 plus the latest ink formulation.

That's exactly what I did....donated my 3800 and got the P800.  Better machine, but built based on the same proven reliable platform.

 

And with Epson rebates until year end....$300 on the P800 and, if it still exists, another $50 for trading up on the 3800.  Check the Epson rebate site.

Is anyone considering the newly announced replacement for the Epson 4900, the SC P5000?  Supposedly, it is more clog resistant and has an ink set that has more permanence.  I was considering a P7000 for personal use but the thought of having a 200+ pound printer on stand seems overkill.  Though it cannot print 24 inch wide like the P7000, the SC P5000 should have the same quality of prints as it uses the same inks and weighs a mere 112 lbs.
