For 35mm slides etc I think the high end DSLR solutions will be a good 
replacement, speed us an important factor in scanning and usually there 
are many 35 frames to do. Not so on larger film frames, a Nikon 9000 ED 
can be optimised a lot with wet mounting etc and a true 3800 PPI 
resolution is possible with that scanner. I agree, if you have that 
scanner already, never sell it but when your last MF frame is scanned.
