The high yield cartridge is 2,500 pages per cartridge. My Brother MFC 9420CN yields 10,000 pages per cartridge, but the black cartridge cost nearly $200. I printed an FHA package on the HL-2140, nearly 250 pages per set just fine. It's ultimately your decision, NCNotary, but at least you're hearing from someone who actually has and successfully uses one. While I wouldn't recommend it as your primary printer, it is certainly a great backup, though sometimes I use it as the primary. Haven't had any issues with it. Good luck in your quest for a printer.
