Well, currently I think the 4 and 4M are somehow in a difficult marketing
position. I doubt the price compared to the 4P/4MP is worth the extra
features. The 4Si/SiMX got pretty cheap too, so I rather would by the 4Si
nowadays if I need the I/O features and speed.
The 4P/4MP doesn't have the possibilities to get expanded like the 4/4M,
but the software in the 4P/4MP has been improved a lot compared to the
4/4M.
Also a lot of people do seem to look at competitors. TI has a pretty nice
machine with 2 250 page paper bins with Adobe Level II PostScript for the
price of the 4P (well, slightly higher). Though, the TI machine does has
some disadvantages… but for that price… I wouldn't mind…
