This is similar to the recent Aldi Fuji Xeros Mono MFC:

However, I had a friend who said it was not the greatest machine so far (slow, wireless G only, weird controls). Although it is much more capable, compatible (postscript) and has more ram/processor.
I used the NRMA member offer and got it for $143. 6 units remaining but I have an email confirming that more units are on their way before the 31st.
Note: Officeworks sell the next model up for $199 but it has no ADF. The L2720DW and L2740DW are pretty good too but again, they are $200+).
this fax is ok, if your doing any sort of major scanning/faxing the paper feed isnt the best for multiple (>5) sheets. it doesnt feed that great.
I got the MFC-L2740DW for $249 or so and its worth every cent. not one paper feed problem. every letter comes in I scan it straight away and throw away the original.
