I had a look at the HL-2170W ($173.99) and the DCP-7030 ($213.99) at Best Buy on the weekend.

I wouldn't mind either unit. One concern, however: the all-in-one DCP-7030 isn't "(wireless) network ready." I'm assuming that means I can't use it with my Time Capsule (wireless router). Is this correct? I'd have to have it plugged directly into the computer to print from it?

I'm leaning toward the HL-2170W, as it is wireless network ready. From what I've seen on the Brother website, wireless ready all-in-ones start at around $400.
