Because engineers have to change something or they aren't needed. There have been plenty of good machines that have been totally changed for the worse, but they have to change something to keep their job. I do like that they changed to a toner motor..won't have to worry about stuck shafts anymore. I like the touch screen better although it should be bigger.

Re: mp2001

It is more or less the same machine as the MP2000, however the touch screen is easier to work with, you can install extended features onto the machine and it generally fits more into the scheme of modern ricoh copiers. It's progress, I don't understand why people get pissy over a machine getting a facelift. If the 2000 was fine, then this one will be too!

No, it's the same everywhere. The Metis is such a cheap and nasty box that if any customer even looks at it wrong, it will explode in a shower of plastic covers and self-tapping screws.

You are right:
- The copy/ printing image quality is not stable, it will be fade more and more
- Poligone mirror dust quickly
- The covers are hard to dissembly
- And more....
