Thats an expensive solution for your needs... I'd suggest using a faster
connection (a lot of that time is transfer time, and you'll still have that
with a RIP... but faster networking will reduce it), and decent profiles for
the RIPs you have. I get excellent color out of these printers (as good as
with any of the RIPs I've used with them) by building CMYK profiles for the
onboard PostScript with ProfilerPRO, which is quite affordable. If you need
assistance with setup and profiling of these machines let me know.
