Hi,

I am planning to purchase a page scanner. 
To me the EPSON GT-4000 and GT-6000 color scanners are
looking interesting. I would like to get any comments
on these (or other recommendations). I don't really
need the color scanning capabilities, but the EPSON's
are fairly priced. Is the difference between 400dpi    
and 600 dpi worth the difference in price (~$200.-) ?
Are these devices good enough to scan color photographs
or is the color option just another bell (or whistle)
which looks good in advertisments, but is unusable
in real life ?

Ciao, Martin.
