$200
Seems to be a good price, but I've heard (and experienced) that Samsung's support is laughable at best.
I have this model. Support is okay. Not farmed out as far as I can tell, but they are script-oriented (like everyone else). Good for small to medium size office. Toner is expensive but you get a lot as opposed to giving you a small cartridge to nickel and dime you to death.
I bought this when it was $250 and I love it to death. Doesn't do heavy cardstock, but every other paper I've thrown at it, it's handled with alacrity. Image quality is mindblowing compared to color lasers of just a few years ago, but still inferior to even a cheapie inkjet. Where it shines is consumables cost.
I don't print much, so inkjet cartridges tend to dry up on me. I have to replace 'em every year even if they still have ink. Toner lasts much longer (especially in low humidity), so I hope this printer will last me basically forever. If I printed more, I'd be picking up another one (for $200, it's a no-brainer) just as a source of spare parts.
