Do I need a color laser printer or is mono enough?

Across the reviewers we read, most home and small-office users are well served by a monochrome laser, which is cheaper to buy and run. Color lasers like the Brother MFC-L3720CDW are recommended mainly for workplaces that need occasional color graphics; reviewers including PCMag note color-toner costs run high, and laser color is not a substitute for photo printing.
