No, not at all, given a decent scanner and someone who knows how to  
work the software.  You'll do better with competent use of the  
software and an average scanner than you will with a great scanner  
and someone who is clueless on how to scan.  Dan Burkholder actually  
wrote to me back in my beginning days that he had $100 drum scans  
done that were terrible, unusable.
