I faced the same decision myself four months ago. Since the bulk of my scanner work was for OCR, I opted to go for the HP IIIp ScanJet. It was cheaper than the IIIc and I read in a review that grayscale scanners tend to do a better job with OCR, and are certainly much faster in scanning pages. YMMV, of course... Michael G.
