Thanks for the responses and advice. Robert M and I have had this discussion before and his take on the problem of envelope printing has merit. We print about 2K # 10 env/mo so speed isn't an issue. Load capacity, print quality and ease of use are.
I've settled on an Epson WF5440 for $130 or so with available generics and a low end Canon backup.
PS: One of the dying low end Canons was flashing an ink reservoir overflow alert (something I'd never seen before) while stalling and refusing to print or printing multiple copies. I came across a hack that reset the electronics, while it didn't empty the overflow it got the unit working again.
