Yes Paul, but the LIDE 20 is only 600 Dpi optical, whereas the 80 is
2400 Dpi, an important difference in photographic terms, also the 80 is
fully native X, the 20 isn't really; I just rechecked the web site &
asked tech help for confirmation.
The 20 for me would be a downgrade from my Epson 1250 Photo, but the 80
would be a major upgrade.
TTFN,
