Yes.  The $65536 question is, what difference in OCR accuracy
do you see between 300 and 600 dpi *IN PRACTICE*?  Have you
DONE this experiment and what was the result?

I did a very limited experiment and found almost no difference
in accuracy using the Calera Wordscan software that was packaged
with the 3c.  That surprised me somewhat but maybe the result
would be different with more kinds of print samples (I used
part of a page from a newspaper).

If you've done a more extensive experiment, please tell us what
happened!
