Digital BW, The Print

Yep, I know that. But the GF's interpolations are far superior than PS'
bicubic interpolations according to the tests I made with the trial version.
So, I'm trying to justify between [spending $2100 for Coolscan 4000] and
[$1050 (for Coolscan IV) + $150 (GF download) = $1200 a good compromise?].
Please note that the scanner prices are customs tax/duty included, shipment
excluded import prices to my location (Istanbul, Turkey), pricing is
dramatically different for me. BTW, with Coolscan IV, I will need only 1.33x
GF magnification for 35mm full frame prints - and this makes me think that I
may not loose too much quality with this combo. Am I right?

Regards,
Loris.
