Lluis,

Based on your work, I would say don't change anything - it is perfect.  
But if you need a better scan for prints, the Nikon 5000 or 9000 would 
be good if you can find one.   I have a Nikon 4000ED for 35mm and an 
Epson 4990 for 4x5 and they are both excellent, though they receive 
little or no use these days.  The Plustek 7600 would _probably_ give you 
good results, but I have no personal experience with it.  It is 455USD 
at B&H.  The scanning software is as important as the scanner and can 
cost almost as much, although Vuescan seems to do well for a much 
smaller price.   Good luck, your images deserve the best.
