I'm a bit evangelical about the Snapscan (I somehow managed to talk about it whilst discussing printers..) I don't see the £24 as being ferociously expensive - as I'm really buying convenience. If you're looking at cost-per-page, I agree - If it were, then I'd be buying a laser-jet or a tanked ink-jet (and that would be many multiples of £24 extra). Not just the cost I can now put out of mind, it's the annoying stuff (like "I bet HP just made 50 cents every time I clear the heads" or "FFS I just printed 20 cards with a sky on them, so I'm out of Cyan")

(Nitpick: It's ScanSnap. It took me a while to remember the word order, too.) That's an excellent point about the convenience, and another reason I'm a huge fan of lasers. I have a tiny special-purpose photo printer for when I really want/need the pretty brightness that inkjets can have over laser, but for sheer convenience of "I know it's going to work this time" lasers reign supreme.
