With my Nikon LS-4000 set for multi-sample scanning at 16X, I can get details of shadows and highlights that would never be possible in the darkroom. You can even do two scans - one for highlights and one for shadows and combine them to get tonal range far beyond anything you can do even with masks and lots of trouble in the wet darkroom.
