You can also find some good deals sometimes from the manufacturer's site. I bought my 3170 directly from Epson and love it. I think I bought mine just as they were being discontinued.

Hi Jamie, I'd try ebay for affordable scanners. And as far as faster than your current scanner, I think you can't get any slower than that. I got my current scanner on ebay for $25.00 including shipping. I think it's absolutely reasonable to find one that will scan in at most twenty seconds from the start of the scan to the beginning of the next scan for under fifty dollars not including shipping on ebay. I'm cheap, or poor, however you look at it, so was really careful about price. My scanner is a Visioneer 5800 and will scan whatever you might want to scan, including pictures. Epsons are spoken of highly and I've seen them affordably on ebay. And you can even find them, scanners in general, new on ebay, if used products make you uneasy. Good luck, and happy hunting. Hope I've offered some help you can use.
