While this resolution may seem excessive today for 8X10" prints, when you want to make and 11X14" or a 16X20" you'll be glad it's there and all the work that you've done in Photoshop doesn't have to be redone. I see the scans as a form of archiving, and so I'm happy to spend the few extra cents and seconds that it takes to do them at the highest resolution possible. Who knows what the capabilities of the next generation of printers will be.
