You're right about the engine update, but the should part is
theoretical. (smile) I didn't notice any difference in quality
between the versions. I have one version on my dad's machine and the
other on my personal one. I get the same types of scans and scannos
with both. The only difference that I noticed was the integration
with Word in the latest version, and that's a cool feature.
