So, the Oki or Teriostar 1040 is one page per minute faster than the Ricoh. Oki wants the user to replace the corona wire cartridge and the process cartridge. I believe the process cartridge is the drum. Now, the memories come back, if an end user scratches that drum, it's on the user to replace the drum which is going to be a very pricey item. If I was a business owner I would not want my peeps handling a part that has a cost of $1,500-$2,000. If they scratch it, it's on me to buy another, even if I have a maintenance agreement.
Oki or Teriostar has almost no market share. they are the lowest of all placements when it comes to wide format. Which then begs the question, "if the client is not satisfied with the servicing dealer, who else could they get for on-site service? Almost no one!

The devices are probably not as costly as the Ricoh, but check out the guy putting in the drum unit, it's a recipe for disaster. Hope this helps, let me know if you need more.
