Digital BW, The Print

The reviews I have read on these scanners indicate to me that they can not
take up the slack with the loss of Minolta and Nikon scanners. I presently
have Minolta's 5400 and have had my Microtek 120tf fail (communications
board - no spares available). I have considered several scanners and settled
on Epson's 750 pro. The real resolution of this scanner is about 2600 dpi
color and 3400 dpi B&W negative. For medium format and larger, this is
acceptable but for 3500 it is not if a high rel scan is required (the 5400
does indeed deliver 5400 dpi) To achieve these numbers, it is necessary to
buy some carriers from Better Scanning. I mostly use the larger glass
carrier as it does a better job of holding the negative flat and multiple
formats can be scanned after a mask has been made.

Any take on these scanners? Another list is trying to plan on the
demise of Nikon/Minolta. especially for 35mm.
Thanks!
