help me choose color laser printer

[sna]

Hi,

I am considering buying a home color laser printer for around 600$

I have these three options only for that price range...

1.HP 1500L 600x600dpi color and b/w
2.Minolta-QMS magicolor 2300W (1200x600dpi) color and b/w
3.Epson acuulaser C900 (600x600) B/C

now I never had experience with cheap home color Laser printers at work they have the expensive one

any one please help me choose one of these???

for the dpi I prefer the minolta but I need to know about the output quality from experience I heared the minolta for example has bad gray scale printing etc

to add to this all the three printers come with 4500 pages toner on 5% coverage and it is for each color 4500 pages and seperate toner for each four colors
man why am I using an inkjet that was stupid really.... I pay 100$ monthly for inks for my inkjet that is in 5 months the inks paid the price of color laser printer I wish I knew color laser printers became so cheap and affordable... my Epson cost me 100$ plus 1200$ after one year of use and guess what If I used laser one I d save 1000$ cos they come with 4500 page toners and IN COLOR vs 400 page per ink in color (5% covereage)

any way I am moving to lasers since they became affordable

can u help me choose?

Not that this really says anything about the quality of their home versions but we have three colors lasers here at work (HP 4500N laserjets) and they are work horses.. after 80,000+ pages we finally had to replace the rubber roller on the back feed rod of our oldest one. The print quality is greaty (although a good inkjet can produce better color prints - just a nature of the toner vs. ink)

I'd look for some online reviews unless someone here has direct experience with the models your talking about.
