Hello Leon, Not much to pass on, but here it goes. So far, I haven't seen a color laser print that really looks like a photograph (unlike the inkjets). Seems that color lasers are more useful for things like business graphics.
Other things to consider - do you want to print on 4x6 paper? What percent of the printing will be for photos? My HP 7960, which uses 8 colors, can swap the photo black/gray cartridge for an all black one to save on ink and print faster. I suspect that other inkjets do the same. If speed of printing is important, then get one of the Canon printers. They are fast and print good quality photos.
