Firstly, incase you had not noticed the StarJet 48 *IS* a Cannon BJ-10Ex with a diffent badge.

Quality:  As expected from an buble jet.
Star reliabilty: Usually very reliable.
Windows: as good as the driver for it (same driver in essence as BJ10-EX)
Compatibility: not sure, but high probablity.
Uses standard paper (no tractor feed).
accessories such as batteries, power supplies, Cut sheet feeder are all available.
don't know about DECjet 1000, but as I said it is a rebadged BJ10-EX.

Don't know what US price is like, but UK is #200 inc. tax
