I’m in the laser fan club too. I got a Brother color laser with scanner a couple of years ago and I love it. Haven’t even had to replace the starter toner yet (have 60% of color and 30% of black left).
I print infrequently and inkjets do not work well for that. I pretty much had to buy a new set of inkjet cartridges every time I wanted to print something, which made the cost per page ridiculous, and the time per page could be days (since I couldn’t actually print it until after I could schedule a trip to the store or get cartridges delivered and replaced). The laser does not have that problem.
The laser is not, however, a great printer for images and vector graphics. You can clearly see a dithering pattern, the colors are a bit weak (not as sharp and vibrant as ink), and on a few occasions it has misunderstood the image and printed weird noise. Despite that, it has worked well enough for us. (As an example, we printed a ton of missing pet flyers with photos on them and only a few came out messed up.) And it does fine with things like forms that have lines and solid boxes. If I wanted to print frameworthy photos or art, I’d go to a store and print it there.
