Hi Paul, Bond Imaging will do Lamda prints onto b/w paper, which is nice.
My experiience is that there is no real much difference between a lamda print at 200dpi and a pegasus at 250. The max res. of the pegasus is 250dpi, but the lamda will go to 400, at thus res. there is more fine detail, but for a $75 of prints like portraits etc. 250dpi would be fine. Also the 400dpi prints are much more expensive. If want any more info then let me know, one of my friends has an exhibition in Brunswick street at the moment and they are all printed on a lamda at 200dpi.
