I use the Nikon software that comes with the scanner and find it to be very easy to use and no problem at all. I used it on my Coolscan IV, V and now LS9000. My suggestion, if you get the Nikon scanner, is to start using the Nikon software and if you don't like it then you can start looking at alternatives. In any case good luck with whatever you choose.
