I'd like to stick with the convenience and features of the Nikons. Thanks for the rec. I did kill the Coolscan III myself by trying to take it apart. I got to about 2/3 of the way through the process when I came upon some philips head screws that would not come out. I broke the tips off of every small screwdriver in the house before eventually stripping the screw head completely. Insane. The newer models look like they are easier to get into Thanks again!

Used LS-40's go for $300-$375. LS-V succeeded it.
