After standing before HP deskjet 500 and BJ-200 for an hour, I bought BJ-200
and I am quite happy with the choice. BJ-200 has a better DPI (360x360 vs.
300x300), more compact, faster, and cheaper by about $50. However, a lot of
people were purchasing HP deskjet 500c by paying about $150 more than BJ-200
