"Honest" laser printer

I'm looking for a mid-level business colour laser MFP with duplex for around 15K pages per year, mainly B&W as the current Canon MF-746 while printing well enough, just doesn't have a handle on toner consumption. The MF-746 is typicaly reporting toners empty at about 30% done (yea, 70% remaining!) & I'm not a fan of buying / stocking toner carts that aren't required or running out of toner unexpectedly mid job. I've spoken to Canon at some length on this & they frankly could care less despite the fact that print costs are 3 times the advised. Have to say that the drivers are shoddy, unhelpful & like something for Win95...

The other half runs Zerox & at around 2 years in, it's often cheaper to replace the printer than buy all the required consumables (even when the new is supplied with low volume starter carts), so Zerox is out of the running.

Any pointers appreciated.
