Most of my images to be scanned are black and white. I assume either scanner would be pretty much okay for images to be displayed on the web. But I wonder if the difference between these two scanners would show up in 10 x 8" black and white prints. I could end up making a lot of such prints. I've been told different things by different suppliers- one says that the difference will be negligible (he uses the Coolscan II himself) and another says that on black and white prints, even from an Epson 700, there will be a perceptible difference with those scanned on the LS2000 looking better. Everything I've read seems to suggest one or the other of these views. I would appreciate any additional feedback I can get on the choice. Joe Berenbaum
