I think the most important thing to think about is the
SilverFast software.You can really fine tune a scan.In
terms of saving contrasty b&w negs,its incredible.I
have the Epson 4870 Pro and I would not be without
it.You mentioned the 4990,I think that would drop the
price of the 4870 to below 500 bucks.Francis Ford
