XEROX PHASER 7800 or other printer for cardstock recommendations

[copydocinc]

I have a customer that has done some research on their and think they are sold on the Xerox Phaser 7800 model.
I know nothing about this model.
I'm more of a Kyocera guy, but I'm not to high on the 2 sided cardstock issue for Kyocera color printers.
They will be doing exclusively, 2 sided cardstock full color printouts and probably around 5000 pages per month

Is this a good model for that?
Does anyone know of a killer reliable make and model that would be good for this customer?

They're really easy from an engineer standpoint. Most parts are customer replaceable consumables and I can honestly say I've not replaced another part on one (we have about a dozen out there).

The max 2-sided GSM is 256 unless you get the optional media kit that then let's you do up to 300.

We have an Oki ES9431 in the field that's running purely 350gsm through it. Not been out there too long but we've not had one call out on it in the 4 odd months it's been in running that thick a media.

The Phaser 7800 is a great machine and purpose built for graphics environments. I'm a Kyocera guy too but I would rather see a 7800 in these environments over the Kyocera's any day. Love the Kyo's in an office with even high colour use, but they really struggle to maintain their quality against opposition when high quality full colour graphics is needed.
