Digital BW, The Print

Hello Ernst!

I am following very carefully this discussion since, as you well know,
I am ready to jump and buy the Epson 3200 (finally, they arrived to
Toronto). Before I do so, one more question:

In Canada and US this scanner comes in two packages:
Epson Perfection 3200 Photo and Epson Perfection 3200 Pro.
The only difference is the addition of:

*SilverFast AI 6 software (over SE 6 version)
*ArcSoft Suite
*Monaco EZ Color SW
*and IT8 Targets

The price difference is approximately $300.00

My question is whether the SW package is worth it, since the scanner
itself seems to be identical. Well, I do not have any experience
with the above software, do you???

I appreciate your input!
