Does anyone still buy Versatec printers?

Several recent questions about hooking up a Versatec V80
made me wonder.  Do people still buy Versatec printers
rather than laser printers?  There are several laser
printers available that produce output somewhere between
a Versatec and a phototypesetter in quality, but nearer
to typeset quality.  They cost under $25K, and make
impressions on plain bond paper, for which the fixed cost
is about $.025 per page.  One company (Imagen in Mtn View,
CA) provides host software interfaces for troff, ditroff,
TEX, Scribe, and Tektronix 4014.
