Digital BW, The Print

I'm curious about the 2400. I've read in reviews that it can produce
a darn good B&W print out of the box yet, evidently, it cannot do BO
printing.
I had decided to finally buy one last weekend when Page Computer had
them on sale for $675 with FREE shipping. (It has since gone back up
to their regular price, btw)

 My question is, how do the 2400 prints compare with those made by the
200 BO or the 2200? And, forgive me, but how is it that the 2200 can
do BO but the 2400 cannot?

 I'm new to this group and am admitedly confused. I hope I did not err
in ordering the 2400.
