So what's the deal?  Did you scan than reply in with your 300 
dpi scanner?  ;^)

Really though, it's hard to take someone's advice who has a 
300dpi and can't see why he should get 600, as opposed to 
someone who has tried both.  There is really no comparison when 
scanning  small text.  Don't take my word for it, do the math. 
 Or even better, take a magazine article down to your local 
comp usa and check them out.  If the $300 scanner does what you 
want, it's dumb to spend the extra $600.  I needed the color 
and that's why I got it.  As far as the question, is it 3x as 
good for 3x the price.  That's not really a relevant question. 
If I get 95% accuracy in 300dpi and 99.99% acuracy in 600 dpi, 
no that's not 3 times as good, but it will still save me lots 
of time editing (depending on the length of the article).

Really, what you buy depends on your needs.  I'm a hobyist and 
have no needs, just wants, and the 3c satisfies them all.  Any 
other questions, feel free to email me, this group is just too 
big to catch all the articles.
