Re: Color, BW compromise

Thanks Shilesh & CDTobie

It's starting to look like the best choice for now is a 1280/90.  I'll take 
a good long look at where I can fit a 2nd printer when my skills justify 
one.  Those skills probably don't justify worrying about print life past 
the 1280/90's ~25 year print life just yet.
