This is only my opinion and I have a color laser.
I did not want to have several large machines (printer, scanner, fax, copier.) I don't want my office to look like a collection of random pieces of equipment. Every person has different needs and wants, I needed a color laser and I wanted only one all-in-one style machine.
Based on this I purchased the Brother MFC-9970CDW. I've had it only 2 months but have nothing bad to say about it. Easy to set-up (all my past printers were either HP or Canon) and very easy to use on a daily basis.
I love the wireless function, it allows me to place the printer near the main phone line and then "line-out" to the message machine. When a call comes in the printer routes the call based on voice/fax and only rings the phone if it's a voice call. When it's a fax the machine receives automatically and I am not left running to the fax and trying to press the receive buttons before the call drops.
The ADF works flawlessly and scans both sides in one pass, a real blessing for duplex printed items.
The thing I really noticed with other printers, when I shopped at the office supply store, is that when some printers are loaded with legal paper the tray(s) will not close completely. For me that was a deal breaker and ruled out one printer line completely just from this problem. My toddler would be unable to stop himself from breaking the tray if left slightly open. (I could hear the sound of small crackers be jammed into the machine as I stood in the store.)
Take a few sheets of legal and letter with you when you go and shop. Open and close every tray/door/cover and test fit both the loading and tray position when closed of the legal size paper. Buy something that you can find ink for locally, you don't want to stuck waiting on the delivery man.
