The high(er) end copiers in the 7xx series are rated for 5000 copies a month. Aftermarket toner is not expensive and it looks like I can get the cost to about 3 cents or less for color copies, including the paper, and deal with the drum down the road.

Probably won't make the decision until mid January so I have plenty of time. I'm almost tempted to spring $270 at Costco for the 644 in my own office. I have a Samsung CLP-310 or 315 that I have run less than 50 pages through and a Canon MG series that I have a boatload of ink for. I just don't print much color since there's little call for bound or binder manuals and proposals.
