How much money do you have?  If you have all the $ to go to the high
end, you can get a great deal of productivity out of a
Crosfield/Scantronix/Xyvision combination.  You would then have
scanning, plotting, TIFF, Scitex R300, Hell, DDES, DSEA, Crosfield,
Scantronix, SGI, and many other file formats.  

Surely there is a Crosfield Scanner with enough quality for you.
There are a great many of them on the 2nd hand market.  

This is a solved problem, if you have the cash.
Can you give more specifics?

You might also try the Optronics ColorGetter, but I do not think it
scans A4; Optronics support out there is pretty thin.
