Is there a place to check and compare printers in respect to this?

I'm currently looking for a printer replacement and don't want to lock myself to printers like these. I know to stay away from HP as it looks like they are the biggest offender. I know that brother generally was good, but I'm not sure if that still holds true.

Thank you this looks great, but I also want to be able to scan and copy documents on flatbed as sometimes they are connected or can't go into the feeder for other reasons.

Brother also offers many MFPs; the MFC-L5700 for instance, has a feeder and flatbed scanner

This one looks very good. I actually was thinking of MFC-L8895CDW which I saw on costco.com, but then I saw MFC-L8900CDW which supposedly is identical to the former and MFC-L8905CDW which costs as much as the one in Costco and was wondering why Costco version costs as much as 8905 and got into a rabbit hole researching what's the difference between them. And ended up not buying anything so far.

Perhaps those are overkill though.
