I am also in the market for a scanner.  I'm primarily concerned about ocr 
of newspaper articles.  Will I get more accuracy at 600 dpi than the 
300x600 offered by the monocrome hp scanner?  The monochrome scanner is 
about $300 on the street.  The color scanner sells for about $900.  For a 
given ocr package, will my accuracy go up by a factor of three, like the 
price?

Thanks
