You say you prefer the look of Cool Grey 11 vs Pure Black, but you also say that you can't test print. So how do you know you prefer Cool Grey? Are you judging purely on looking at your screen?
If so, remember the first rule of print deign screen ≠ print.
Never trust your screen. Always test print. Aside from the colour breakdown/process etc you also have to factor in the stock you're printing on. That will also affect the colour, how sharp things are etcI would also say that there are processes between single colour and 4-colour. You could print a duotone of black and Cool Grey or a tritone etc. Generally (depending on the printer) printing 2 or 3 plates is cheaper than making 4 plates.
- This. Go duo or tritone and you'll end up with less "mud". Maybe cheaper in the long run (if offset) and definitely cleaner.sausages
