family photos, to be scanned and printed, rarely bigger than 11x17, on an
Epson 1160, with MIS VM, with Paul's curves.  So far, it seems the Epson
2450 might be a reasonable choice, but I'm wondering (under the
pleasure/pain principle) if I could get something very substantially
superior, say,by doubling my investment.  More specifically, would machines
like the PowerLook III or Linoscan 1400 or Epson 1680, and their respective
software packages, be worth the additional bucks?  Many, many thanks for
your help.

Have a look at my web page for a E2450 review and comparison to PLIII.
