You are never going to get the same quality from an Epson flatbed as you are
from a tango.  At least not with today's gear.  You're comparing apples and
oranges.  A more reasonable comparison might be howtek vs tango.  My howtek
does a MUCH better job than my Nikon 8000 or Sprintscan 120 ever could and
those a better still than the inexpensive Epson flatbeds.  A good 4x5 scan
from a drum is a thing to behold...
