Nikon need a good overhaul of their software interface in my view. However my Vuescan has restore colour, restore fading, grain reduction and infrared cleaning options. I don't know whether they are as efficient as the Digital ICE as licensed by Nikon. I have the pro version of Vuescan. I don't know whether these features are available in the cheaper version.

I also have an Epson 2450, but there is no comparision, the Nikon is streets ahead for 35mm. The only caveat is probably you are better off using Vuescan rather than Nikon Scan, but then you let go of Digital ICE - your choice!
