Well, the 3200 is obviously better. It replaced the 2450 that I have and
camed out a few months later.

My point is that if the 2450 works well, the 3200 will work even better,
but you probably won't be able to get it in a couple of months, because it
looks like Epson is replacing even it with a better model now.

You can pick up the 4870 (top of their line) for the same price as I paid
for the 2450 (used to be the top of their line). I'd definitely go with
the 4870 and skip the 3200. You don't _have_ to replace them just because
a new model comes out. The 3200 didn't have that much up on the 2450. The
4870 does. (But I won't be replacing mine anyway. It's cheaper to let a
professional service do those really high quality scans when I need them
which isn't so terribly often for medium format).
