  4. Sure there is: shelf space. Fully 3/4 of the printer and ink space at the local Staples stores are taken up by HP. I think it's brilliant that a model that differs from another only in that it has an extra paper tray - in a completely separate module that could just as well be sold as an addon - is instead a completely separate model. When lots of your sales to both consumers and businesses are through retail stores, shelf space is vital.

  5. Some only differ in the color of the clips inside of the paper tray.
