Digital BW, The Print

I'm staring at more than a hundred recently shot 4x5 negatives waiting
for digital printing, and wishing for a better 4x5 film scanner than my
cheap-but-pretty-good Epson 1640SU with tranny adapter. I haven't won
the lottery, so Imacons and drum scanners are still out of reach.

I think I could get an old but working LeafScan 45 for under $2,000, or
a refurb Agfa Duoscan T2500 for around $3,000. I'd appreciate comments
from anyone acquainted with both scanners. I'm open to other ideas, too.

thanks,
