Yeah I've run a b/w laser and a colour MFC in the past.

I do little enough printing now that even that isn't worth it to me to have two devices.

Currently I have an OfficeJet 8600 Pro and am very happy with it, I find the print quality to be excellent and the other features work fine. I don't use the scanner much as I scan enough that I got a dedicated ScanSnap 1500 (which I can't recommend enough).

A duplexer was a requirement for me as I hate wasting paper when I don't have to. It also answers distinctive ring to setup a fax # without having a second line.

I also found that the amount of ink use is quite frugal compared to my previous ink jet printers, the XL black ink cartridge costs $56 and is good for 2300 pages (depending on coverage of course), which is 2.5 cents per page. A laser can be somewhat cheaper, but that's a lot better than ink jet printers from years ago that were triple that.
