Apparently, according to the brochure, only the 5000 and 9000 can make multi passes, up to 16. That settles it for me. Although a 4000 with multiscan would be enough for me. Since I'm back in school, I don't anticipate doing any heavy production. Which means that even my commercial work is at hobby level shooting. S.
