I've got the Umax 1220u (same scanner, different interface).  I find the
bundled software to be thoroughly lame.  The Caere OCR software is
ancient 16-bit fare with dreadful accuracy, the Presto Pagemanager has a
number of annoyances with trying to customize it, and the Adobe
Photodeluxe won't let you have more than one scan open at a time (pretty
lame when you're trying to combine two scans of something that didn't
fit, or you're comparing two scans etc.).  

If you've got your own softare for editing, then that's a different
story.  The scanner seems to function fine.  Some debate over whether it
really is 36-bit, or whether it's 30-bit emulating 36-bit, but you've
got to dig into the scanner newsgroup for that.
