PostScript Level 2 or 3?

Hello,
I'm a graphic designer preparing to purchasing a new PostScript printer. Some offer PostScript level 2 and others level 3. What's the main difference and is it enough of a difference that I may not want to buy one with level 2?

No new printer model with Adobe PostScript has �PostScript Level 2.� Maybe some emulations do and even those would be fairly obsolete.

There are a number of optimizations in PostScript 3, especially for rendering of gradients and images that make PostScript 3 important. And it shouldn't be costing you anything more, either. Note that you should be very careful about any printers that have �emulation of PostScript� as opposed to �Adobe PostScript 3.�
