  See if you can buy the Umax by itself (with transparency adapter) it will cost you about $600.00. The additional $500.00 in your post above is for a software bundle. I'm not sure what the DMAX rating is on the Epson but on the UMAX it is 3.4 -- pretty desent for a $600.00 scanner.

I have both scanners already. I am finding a big difference between them but
it's just difference, one is not better or worse - yet.
The Epson's SilverFast SE does a good job with getting the exposure and
color very near correct. Preliminary tests indicate that the Epson 2450 only
does well at 1200 DPI. Interpolated (1200 to 2400) scans from either machine
look as good as Epson's 2400 DPI scans - not what I hoped for.

Alex,

Good idea - I don't know if there is a VueScan version for the 2450 yet.
Does that mean I have to start over again? :-)
