Thanks Tim.

I don't want to sink too much into the digital realm right now, so I 
thought this price point would be a good start. I also want to get a new 
printer, probably an Epson P2000.  I saw some output from that printer 
and I was amazed - on beautiful matte double weight paper, gorgeous. The 
archival inks are appealing too.

I'm surprised you can get a 20x24 print out of that scanner! That is 
good news. (You are talking inches, right?)

Cheers,
