Markku,

The LW Pro 600 is NO WHERE NEAR IDENTICAL to the LW 16/600.

Major differences include:
- No Novell NetWare IPX, EtherTalk, and TCP/IP Ethernet (big minus for
networking)
- No Hard Drive Support (big minus for heavy duty graphics use)
- Older 68030 Processor vs. RISC processor (major speed hit in
processing complex pages)
- No dedicated I/O Processor (again, major speed hit)
- No Fax Support

Your price is competive
(http://www.uce.com/cgi-bin/UCE/uce_index?Action=7), especially if the
two full toner cartridges are new, and not refills.

Also, the LW 16/600 is a 17ppm printer for 8.5" x 11" pages. It's 16ppm
for A4 page sizes.

BTW... if you're using the Optra for graphics work beware. It uses a
PostScript clone and not a true Adobe PostScript RIP.
