Nathan,

I've used Vuescan for 12 years now with my Nikon 8000ED. You're right, the
interface is clunky and crappy, but the software does produce great scan
quality. Nikon Scan was easier to use, nice interface, but it crashed all
the time, and was incredibly slow. The only other alternative was
Silverfast, but I never tried it due to the cost. It was almost $600 if I
remember correctly for my scanner.
