This is a subject that I know a fair bit about.  I was President, and
later monthly newsletter editor, of a large Apple computer user group
here in San Diego.  At one point I did a survey of the various options
open to us for reproducing our newsletter.  We considered buying a
copier, using Xerography, using offset, etc.  At various times we used
both offset and copier services.  

You have pretty well listed the options and their good and bad points.
I am not really familiar with your publication, so I don't have a feel
for what you are or where you are going. Nevertheless, I can say
firmly that if you can possibly help it, don`t get involved in the
printing business.  Leave that to the professionals.  It is well worth
the cost, I believe, to send your work to a printer, no matter what kind
of technology he uses, than to tackle, month after month, the hassle
of running your own press.  It may seem like a lot of money, but your
time is really the most valuable thing you have.
