if i had to decide now, i'd also look into ink jet printers since they're getting fast too and i may decide to go for an xerox.com phaser-8860 (solid ink) since toner often looks like crap
We have a Phaser 8400DP here and I find the output not as sharp (text) as with our b/w HP LaserJets. (I sometimes see some dotted ghost lines at some places; I don't know where they come from.) Additionally, I think it uses a lot of "solid ink" when turned on. This might be not a problem for the office where it is always on (like here, including during the night), but for home that would be not the right thing. ;-) Otherwise, I find the solid ink (which reminds me on wax crayon) quite nice to handle, it works quite well with also more complicated files and the colors look quite nice.
