Default Xerox 700 vs. KM 6501 vs. USED 6500

We just purchased a quick printing company 2 months ago and the first major change is upgrading our CPP 500
I am looking for a bit of digital color advice, here are the three machine choices:

NEW Xerox 700- internal rip or external Firery/Creo- base machine, no extras
NEW KM 6501- same choices on the rip- base machine, no extras
USED 6500- basically the same rip choices if I am patient- saddle-sticher and high capacity paper unit.

The print samples that we have seen off of the 700 and the 6501 look pretty close on quality. The lease cost for the 700 is a good bit more, but click cost is about $.01 less than the 6501.
The used 6500 has about 200K clicks but comes with all the extras. Not sure how important the high capacity paper trays are to the production (my guess is important) quality.

Thoughts? advice?
