[ SNIP ] one source told me not to bother with the
Nikon LS2000 (@ dmax 3.6), because the LS-30 (@ dmax 3.0)
already pushes the output range of the Epson to its
limits.  If that is true, is there any point in getting more
scanner than I can use -- ? -- or am I overlooking something?

	--> would it not make a lot of sense to get the best
	scanner you can afford to get the best digital files
	of your work regardless of your current output device ?

	--> I'd suppose the best file upfront makes for less loss
	through the various phases of digital manipulation
	(or more possibilities downstream)...

	--> output devices will surely improve fast as there
	is a huge market for these; your other output probably
	will be the Internet as such, which does not require the ultimate
	quality for a webpage but can be a medium to show your work
	at its best if you decide to build up a personal gallery / portfolio
	through the years.
