David Brooks at Shutterbug tests a lot of these and is very enthused by 
the affordable Plustek 7200i.

My experience is that the typical 4000 dpi of a film scanner cannot 
capture all the detail that is in the film.  So, those extra pixels 
just might be significant.

So far, I see no (affordable) serious digital competition for my medium 
format Tech Pan film when ultimate B&W quality is the issue.  For 
color, however, I never shoot film any more.
