My trusty Brother HL-4150 from 2013 is finally dying. I'm going to miss the $15 toners that do 6000 pages.

UPDATE: Ended up choosing the Brother HL-L5200DW (mono) for around $274 at Officeworks

Do you have the link for that black toner? Couldn't find it
https://www.printersupermarket.com.au/Products/Inkandtoner/B…
But it doesn't actually add to cart, states out of stock so that's a bust.
I found ordering directly from GetBrother.com.au was slightly cheaper for this printer - then I discovered a lot of grumpy reviews on Amazon US about the toner not being able to reset on this model. Something I do on my current printer when it thinks the toner has run out - often there's still 25-50% left. So with that feature locked out I might step up to the L8360CDW for $578.95 shipped.
More than I wanted to pay but I don't want any ugly surprises like only being able to use 50% of the toners.
Do you have any input on that?
Final update in case this helps someone else one day
In the end I'm going to Officeworks tomorrow to get a price beat on a Brother HL-L5200DW (mono). I've had a colour laser since 2013 but the more I think about it, it's rare I do colour prints and half of the ones I do are by mistake, when I need something high quality I would get it done at a shop anyway. So I might as well get a mono, it's smaller, less moving parts, prints really fast and is cheaper (about $274 after price beat with GetBrother.com.au)
8,000 page generic toner for $25. Can't beat that!
I've decided on the Brother HL-L8260CDW A4 Colour Laser $338 + shipping if anyone was interested.
That shop also had a pricing error on their black toner (instead of around $140 it's showing as $0 so I added that to cart too) :)
Newer version of what I have essentially. With 4500 page black, 4000 page colours. There is a bigger version doing over 6000 pages but I no longer need those volumes.
