There are some printers with no good analogue (such as the HL-5370DW above) where it'll come back and say that there's no good match & ask you to pick a printer. I suspect that those are the ones where the non-Kyocera printer does better on TCO. Some of their "Competitor" pricing seemed a bit high, but other items matched my numbers to within 5%, so I may have missed something in their calculations.
