I don't know about the review in PC Magazine, but the July 1990 issue of
The Computer Shopper has a review of 39 scanners under $1,000 which was
pretty interesting.

I have also been looking for one, and I'm sold on the Microtek color
scanner (MSF - 300Z).  It is a flatbed scanner (like the surface of a
photocopy machine) with 16.8 million colors, 256 shades of gray and
resolution of 300 dpi.  It lists for $2695.00, but I saw it at a
Heath/Zenith store for $1617.00, and the purchase order is in.
