Subject: [Leica] Epson 4870 scanner for Xpan slides?

I had the opportnity to use the Epson 3200 flat bed scanner for some Xpan 
transparencies.  The results were good but did not seem to compare to using 
a dedicated Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED scanner.  The images needed 
more sharpening in Photoshop.  The Epson software actually gives you a 
digital contact sheet to examine two strips of images at one time.  Has 
anyone used the improved 4870 Epson flat bed scanner for transparencies?  It 
would be a lot cheaper to get the 4870 than the large format Nikon scanner.

Thanks for your reponses.
