Ink or Laser Multifunction?

You may be surprised by the results:

The HP Office Jet 8500 ink Multifunction prints, scans and copies half again as fast and at higher resolution than the HP M1522nf laser. They both have document feeders and are network ready.
The Office Jet Costs half as much to purchase and less than half as much in ink/toner.
