Thanks for the input, everyone. Seems like people tend to love or hate the 130, so I guess I'll have to sleep on it and decide if I want to buy a machine that I could end up loving or hating. Sounds like the extended service plan is advisable.

If the number of prints you're going to do is relatively low, then buying a Z serie might be too expensive. I guess then you'd have to read the post about making your own roll feed option.
