Well, I don't know about all that...but some of their technical statements
were not really accurate, their example of 14 bits vs 16 bits wasn't using
real images...so there is good reason to be skeptical of their
marketing...not necessarily of the scanner.  The scanner MAY be very good, I
don't believe anyone said otherwise.
