This is a suggestion you might want to consider.

For tomatos I use 2401s.  When the seedlings get to about 4-5 inches tall I 
pile in about 1 1/2 inches more potting mix on top of the flat, creating a 
similar effect to using a deeper cell.  This gives me a fist sized root ball 
on a 8 - 10 week transplant.  Thiis would be even better on 1801s.
