What is the incentive to get replacment ink when i can buy a new printer cheaper?

I got a Canon Pixma i4200 last year in the M&S sale for £35. Now to get new ink for the lot it'll be about £45 (5 inks at £9 each). Now I saw in Jessops today you can get a Canon Pixma MP210 for £60 with £20 cashback bringing it to £40 for a new printer/scanner.

Apart from saving the environment....there is no practical reasons to get new ink instead of a new printer. Is the MP210 a better photo printer? or am I nuts in thinking getting a new printer instead of new ink?
