I've considered this too, and I'm sure it would a good choice regarding the 
scanner itself and its use, but to buy such used equipment on e-bay from 
another country (I live in Brazil) can mean an incredible amount of 
problems, so I'm looking for a new scanner that can be bought from an 
authorized dealer.
