color laser jet purchase

[susan schiavetti <sueshe4@COMCAST.NET>]

I have a computer lab in my media center with 28 PC's.  I have been =
given the okay to purchase a color laser jet printer that can be =
networked.  I am having trouble deciding between two Hewlett Packard =
models.  The HP 4600n sells for about $2300 and its four cartridges =
around $190 each.  The smaller alternative, the HP 2500 (based on the =
specific network model) sells for between $1300 - $1700 and its four =
cartridges around $97.
If you use one of these models, could you please email me with your =
opinion on it?  I am sure the HP 4600 will be able to handle the demands =
of the lab but was wondering if I really needed one that big.  For each =
model, I was hoping to get your experience with the printer (its =
networking capabilities, how many computers are networked to it, how =
often you have to change the cartridges, the quality of the copies, =
etc.)
Thank you for any advice you may have.
