Need recomendation for Color Laser Multifunction ???

[petreza]

I did some research. I like Brother 9840CDW:

I like that it is:

1. color TONER printer - don't want the Xerox wax stuff
2. is one pass color - same speed for color as B/W (21ppm rated)
3. scanner, copier, fax
4. advanced scanner, fax - to PC, FTP, email etc.
5. duplex printing, duplex scanning (only 8.5x11 duplex scanning )
6. network (+ wireless!!!) connection
7. is not HP - I like their hardware but software sucks
8. cheapest total price after $50 rebate - ~$650
9. size is just about as big as the max I can accept

BUT I especially don't like that it would take 17 seconds for the first page to come out.

I am willing to spend more - maybe up to $1500.

Is there a printer that you would recommend that has all the points above but will offer:

a.) faster speeds - 30ppm + or so
b.) fast first page - 10s max I hope
c.) is not much bigger in size
d) has some additional functionality I might like

Thanks for your help!!!
