Which Printer?

I am looking to buy a 24 pin dot matrix printer. I have been using an Epson 9 pin for a number of years with no complaints, but now I want to enjoy to improved quality of print that a 24 pin printer can provide. I have seen and used the Panasonic KX-P1124–so I am considering the newer KX-P1124i which I understand is essentially the same printer with some improvements (including the LCD display). Recently, I saw an Epson Action Printer 5000 (according to Epson the same as their LQ-570) for almost the some price as the KX-P1124i, and, according to the list of features, it appears to be very similar to it in capabilities. I would be interested in comments from anyone having experience with either or both of these printers–especially if someone has done specific comparisons between the two. I believe both of these companies have reputations for putting out good printers, and after using an Epson 9 pin for years and an earlier version of the Panasonic 24 pin briefly, I am really having a difficult time deciding which is the better buy since they cost about the same. via Whap!
