Re: recommend heavy duty duplex laser

We've been using two IBM 2085 printers for several years now and are well pleased with them. They're used to print voter rolls just in advance of an election for distribution to polling places statewide. Not a duplex job, but I have used them for other duplex printing and found them to be very trouble-free. I believe they've come down in price since we purchased them, but you can still expect to pay around $50K apiece for them.

I am looking for recommend from others doing anything similar:
spools generated from rpgle, dds
IPDS (mult barcodes, both sides, some rotated, IPDS was only way to get it to work) high volume-150,000 pages mth (if rated only 150,000 that's no good) 
large spools-800-1,500 pages duplex per spool-printing for long periods.
4 drawer (4 forms) 3 legal, 1 letter, all duplex
legal forms perforated for folding, side strip tear off (pressure glue embed 
form).
up to 40 or 50 lb paper
replace 2 - Lexmark Optra T616's with IBM IPDS cards, ethernet -
have long past point where uptime is less than repair time. No problem with Lexmark. Looking for quality production machine. Color not needed. Previous experience with other printers: perforated forms over 20lb in duplex kills them. Prefer 2 units to spead load & backup than single unit. Must print daily, very time sensitive documents.
