825 and 835 will print DIRECTLY to optical media (no label needed). There is a special tray. Many years ago Epson was the only company that did this, I heard they had a patent or something. You had to hack a Canon model to achieve the same. I think the patent expired since now you can get a Canon or Brother with out of the box support for CD-DVD Printing.
The 825/835 are identical except for the decal on top, it seems 835 is a model specifically made for Best Buy so they don't have to price match other retailers.
625 is also very good, I think it is missing the CD/DVD function, otherwise it has the same functions like 825/835.
the lower end 430 I think does not have auto document feeder and of course no CD/DVD
I installed a 825 to my teacher friend, she needs to bring the cost down, that HP was draining her wallet ($70/month). I hope she can stay below $20/month with this brother. That's gonna save her $400-500 per year!
now I am tempted to get a 825/835 for myself but no one has those on sale anymore
