Thanks Ben.. What model do you have? I've been looking at the 560,
but I'm wondering if I should spend more or less..

I've read that some folks have spent 200-400 bucks, plus another
$100-200 over a few years replacement parts and consumables..

Some of them say that's too much money for a unit with a lifespan for 2 to 4 years.
That lifespan thing makes me wonder. Since it seems like you can just buy new
parts as they get old and fail..
Or, does a main component die? One that makes it too expensive to repair?
