I've been through lots of catalogues since yesterday, and am
most interested in the Envision scanner that retails for $699.
I notice it's a West Coast company that doesn't deal with wholesalers,
so I've never heard of them before.

Next on the list is a Microtek that runs for about $750.

While I'd feel a little "safer" with a "known quantity" like HP, their
scanners were more expensive for the types of features I was
looking for.

What is the typical life of a one-pass color scanner?  Roughly, how many
scans can you expect to get out of it before it needs a major overhaul?

(A poster enthusiastically mentioned Mustek, another company I
hadn't heard of before yesterday.  Any comments?)
