Too high. I've heard of people buying Canon print heads for around $65.

It depends where you leave. In Europe they cost around 100-150€. And
it depends which printhead. These older are cheaper. The printhead
should be about 65-80% of the printe price.

The data is avaiable: the printhead costs now around 105$.
Printheads on the "i" series are more durable than those from "s"
series. But those from "i" series are more likely to clog.

Last time I looked, I couldn't find that info. With the cost of the printers
coming down, it will be cheaper to get another unit than to replace a part.
Have you seen or heard of any clogs on the i series so far?

probably yes - the printhead is the most important, most advanced and
most expensive part of the printer - when it dies, the whole printer
dies.
when using original Canon inks - no, not yet.
Some people use refills or other stuff and then they have problems
(colours off, clogs, leaking problems, etc.)
Although the holes reach 2pl, which in theory means that they are more
likely to clog than the printheads from "s" series (which had larger
holes) - they don't. In fact they clog less and are more durable than
those from "s" series.

I refill my i850 with quality bulk ink. Colours spot on, no clogs.
Cartridges CAN'T leak if you have a solid, well researched refill
process. I therefore ruled out such items as electrical tape, glue
gun glue, and plugs.
In my method I didn't lose a drop refilling. I cap the bottom exit hole
with the original orange break-off cap held on with tight rubber bands.
My cartridge refill hole is drilled (smaller than the set screw) and
later sealed with a minute and admittedly cute size 2-56 x 1/8 stainless
steel set screw. These are *unbelievably* small and cannot be bought in
most hardware stores, but ordered online - a pack of 20 for $2.90.
You must order the matching Allen Key which also cannot be found in
hardware stores - at least in my part of the universe. I forgot to order
and had to fashion my own tool from a micro scewdriver.
The hardware (screws/Allen Key) can be ordered from microfasteners.com
No, I don't work for them, but the system works beautifully so I'm
letting everyone know who wants a clean, professional-looking result.

refills will NEVER reach the quality of original carts

That's a naive, misinformed load of bull. FORMULABS (a major specialty
ink producer) sells its ink jet inks in bulk to printer OEMs, system
integrators, and aftermarket suppliers of imaging consumables.
And if you understand the statement, OEMs are such names as HP, EPSON,
LEXMARK and CANON. Of course, I don't know who they sell to, that's a
trade secret. But the fact that Formulabs sells to the majors is a
fact! I'm sure they're legally bound by license not to sell the exact
100% same formula outside the OEM's, but they can alter it ever so
slightly and still sell it.
I'm very fussy with such things as choice of papers and inks.
If I can't see absolutely any difference in side-by-side comparisons of
printed photos (Canon vs my generic) and no significant difference in
text, then I'm more than quite happy to refill for about 1/25th the
price of Canon brand ink (not including shipping/taxes). In fact, it'd
be foolish not to!
