Why not start with refill, and when it's empty again try compatible? Then you can form your own opinion about what's better for you.

I have been using Brother laser printer for 3 years and so far using original toner cartridge. I am now planning either to refill original cartridge or buy compatible cartridge. Please suggest which option will be better. Thank you.
