EPSON appears to have run out of refurb 1660s. Next opportunity for a
real deal on a scanner of the same speed may come after the summer, when
the 3170 may be discontinued.
Best thing is to check periodically the EPSON clearence center at:

Hi Sharon,
I would love to get my hands on a 1660, even a refurbished one. Freedom
Scientific's web site clocks the 1660 at about 13 seconds a page, while
the
Epson 1250 I'm using right now comes in at about 47 seconds. I've even
gotten to the point where I have considered finding a SCSI card for my
system in order to hook up my HP 4P again. I have to say though, that I'm
a big fan of USB, and even though the 4P was a work horse, I'm not too
interested in hooking it up to my new system, although it did do legal
sized documents. Of the scanners tested with Openbook, the Epson 1660
came
in the second fastest, only being surpassed by the Canon DR-5020, which
comes in at 2.3 seconds a page. Somehow, I imagine the Canon might be on
the pricey side.
