[comp.periphs.printers] How is the Panasonic Laser Partner?

My local office warehouse store has Panasonic KX-4420 Laser Partner printers
for $800.  Does anyone have personal experience with them?  They look pretty
good, 8PPM, PCL emulation, built in Courier and Century fonts, RAM expandable
to 4.5 MB, though they say 1.5MB is enough for full pages of 300DPI bitmaps.
This is slightly cheaper than I've seen the HP LJ IIP or the low end IBM
printer, and it looks to be faster.

Are there any gotchas?
