Solid Ink has its downsides if you are doing a lot of color, and particuarly large blocks of color (like photos). Lasers are really reasonably priced now and would be your better bet. We have an Oki C5150n that cost us about $400 and LOVE it, it has more than paid for itself, its networked, it has been maintenance free for 2+ years, is fast, quiet and great print quality.
