Personally, I think the c650s are pretty solid after applying about half a dozen mods. The consumables are fairly reasonable as well. It seems to me that it really comes down to how much money to are looking at spending on your current equipment. You can buy parts machines in this series for quite cheap as well.

I don't understand why all my posts lately do not hold my line breaks...

The C654/C754 machines are totally different compared with C5501/C6501. The first are machines that are designed to work in an office environment but with some printing production features and the second series are truly printing production equipments.
The developing units and drums are separate for all 4 colors, not in one piece like they used to be. The developing units last longer because the toner contains a percentage of developer and while the toner is fed into the developing unit, the developer is continuous refreshed. On the other hand, the e series which is now on sale is pretty buggy, I'm sure you'll find several posts with issues on this series.
