Lawrence, 

The 2450 has performed very well for me in most situations, 
especially for the web and small prints. The 2450 has recently been 
discontinued and the new model the 3200 will be available at the end 
of March.

The info on the new scanner can be found on this page:

IMHO these scanners are only as good as the software driving them. 
The benefit to the new 3200PRO is the software package it comes with.

Good Luck!
