I'm not certain what the source of your confusion might be, as you have
summed up the matter rather well. For reduced res print and web, several
flatbed scanners will provide adequate results and a much faster workflow,
which is what lead to my original statement about a user's needs being
below the capabilities of a Nikon 8000/9000 or Microtek 120tf. So, I
advocate that one select a scanner based on the requirements of the work
to be done.
Using dedicated film scanners is an unavoidably slow process compared to a
flatbed and low resolution output. It makes little sense to me to spend
that time and wind up with compromised results due to llimitations of
methods such as scanning directly into Photoshop.

Neil
