Jim,

I agree that choosing the 1280 is a no-brainer for printing.  If you expect 
to be scanning 35 and larger I love my Epson3200 - check the  digital 
darkroom section of my web page for details. Many would suggest a new or 
used dedicated 35mm scanner if that's all you'll be doing for a while. I am 
very satisfied with the piezo plug-in but have seen some good work done 
with Roark curves.  With either there is plenty of support which is THE 
most important thing.  A RIP is unnecessary for B/W quad work. But there 
may come a time when their cost will seem reasonable to you to achieve 
painless B/W prints with OEM, RGBK inks.
