Subject: Why new Epson LQ510 Print Worse?

I recently posted my experience in attempting to replace my Epson LQ 500 with
the new LQ 510--which I took back. We assume something new, with a higher
number, will be better; it wasn't. The clarity of the characters of the 500 was
not approached by the new model. In draft, "e's" looked like "8" and the 
insides of letters had a dirty appearance. Every 510 I saw was the same. Was
there a drop in quality to make a cheap printer? Was it just an error? Sample?
What causes these kinds of differences--print head; too much vibration from a
lighter machine; electronics? Any ideas?
