Robert M,
To be fair, I've always stuck to single purpose non color lasers. Some people like the ink jet models, but I've been inkjet averse for years. Similarly, I didn't buy a Brother color laser precisely because of the cost of color toner. The lower end Brother laser printers have worked well for my less than demanding printing need.
I think our experiences largely differ based in print demand and model choice. Makes sense, if you print a decent amount, you want something that can handle the demand (doesn't excessively curl pages, doesn't streak, and doesn't jam on load) and doesn't burn through toner either.
