Best (Brother) printer / scanner combo? Ideally laser.

Which (Brother) Color Laser Printer?
Brother laser printer?
I know we're all skeptical about Wirecutter, and I'm doubly skeptical that all of their top printer, laser printer, and scanner suggestions are HP. I've had enough personal experience with HP and seen enough comments here to know... never again.
The main mention here in BIFL always appears to be Brother. I know printers aren't really BIFL by definition, but I was hoping for some recommendations.
I don't need to print often, but I don't want a printer that's going to be a PITA with ink replacements or drying out. I was thinking of a laser printer this time around, and ideally one that can also scan documents.
Are most of my options going to be black and white only? Does anyone have a personal recommendation?
I have a small B/W Brother, but would like to have color and Duplex-ADF. So I looked up and those three have the same price:
Brother MFC-L8390CDW from 2023, nicest looks, small, fast, but only 600x600dpi and no cheap compatible cartridges available (yet?)
Brother MFC-L3770CDW from 2018, small, little slower, 2400x600dpi and readily available third-party toners
Brother MFC-L8690CDW from 2017, big, fast, 2400x600dpi and readily available cheap toners
Do I miss something? What is recommended? Has Brother changed something with the new models (chips in the cartridges)?
I did read that some newer color laser printers can do decent photo printing, is there a recommendation? I am not buying a color laser for that, but it would be nice to have.
Is there a catch with the Brother EcoPro subscription?
