Are laser printers worth it?

EDIT** any suggestions for laser printers must be capable of colour printing
EDIT2*** so can I set up a laser printer to be wireless printed from a mac but printed through a wired connection to a pc as well? if yes any suggested printers would preferably be wireless enable

Why no just use the old printer for colour printing and the laser for B&W?

Any thoughts on this all-in-one laser? Brother MFC-7440N. Only reason I'm looking at this is b/c it is small (only 30 cm height, most are almost 40 cm). Reviews seem to say decent text printing, decent scanning, but noisy and crappy graphics printing (I don't really print graphics anyways). I'm just looking for a relatively small laser all-in-one for home use to print documents, scan photos for computer, and occasional faxing. Will this do the trick?
