I'm sure I've seen a comparitive review on the web that answers this in 
detail. The Microtek 120 is allegedly a similar overall quality standard 
to the Nikon 8000/9000, but a different balance of strengths and 
weaknesses and no clear cut advantage to either as far as I can remember.

The Polaroid 120 (now defunct) is a clone Microtek, built for Polaroid 
under contract until they ceased selling scanners so also worth thinking 
about, but they didn't sell many in the short period they were available.
