I'll chime in here as well, I've got an ancient MFC-8860DN laser printer at home and it's got to be 8-10 years old and it's given flawless service. I've replaced toner a few times, maybe once for the drum. Cost around $400 when I got it, and when it jams it's easy to fix and keep moving.
... while I have an ancient HP4100N laser printer[0] at home, which has given flawless service; I've only just replaced the toner (it gave me +20% over the stated spec, and was still printing clearly), and have yet to do anything with the drum. Jams (which are rare, and typically have more to do with humidity or vastly unsuitable materials[1]) are easy to clear, and non-persistent. Mileage, as always, varies. cheers!
