They're only worth it if you print a lot but if you don't print a lot or don't need to print photos, laser is a better investment. Like all inkjets, the ink will dry out if it's not used, you just have a lot more of it and a lower cost per page until it dries out.
Here's a pretty good breakdown. They even touch on tank printers from Epson, Canon, and Brother.

"Ink tank printers are still inkjet printers so it still inherits the flaws of the technology such as ink drying up and nozzle clogs. If you want to avoid replacing cartridges frequently but are not sure if you’ll be printing with any regularity, we recommend you go with a color laser printer. If you’ll be printing a lot of colored documents daily, ink tank printers is a good option."
