Hi, Scott. Indeed, the 3170 is a recommended scanner, and I got one directly from Epson for $132 and some change, including tax, and shipping is free. Take care.

Was one of those scanners an Epson Perfection 3170 Photo Scanner? If so, where did you find the best price? And what makes this scanner stand out? I found it on Amazon for $199. Thanks, Scott
