Digital BW, The Print

If you go that route, remember that all scans are not equal.  The skill of the scanner operator is a key element in a high quality scan.  It's not just the scanner.  So, try a few labs before you make up your mind.  As a comparison, if you know someone who gets consistently good scans from your chosen film/format, have them scan a couple that you also have scanned at the labs.  
 
Just as an example of the operator issue, a local lab told a friend that the lab could get better scans from MF on an Epson 3200 then on a Nikon 8000.  Either they had a bad Nikon 8000 or a faulty operator.

I'm a real stickler for quality, coming from a large format camera 
background.  I'm planning on purchasing a MF (medium format) camera 
in the near future; I've been seeing some good deals.  BUT, I feel I 
will have a hard time justifying the expense of a 4000 dpi scanner.  
Are there any labs that will scan to that resolution?  If so, how 
much are they getting for a roll of 120 film?  Would it be more 
economical to send them already processed film and just have them 
scan the images that I want?
Thanks,
Randy
