Is there a viable flat-bed option for 35mm B&W?  I probably won't
upgrade this film scanner anytime soon since I do get reasonable
results from color slide and negative film.  I do need to get a
flatbed to handle a variety of needs including scanning a fairly wide
variety of negative formats, so if I have to spend a bit more to get
one that does a reasonable job with 35mm, I'm willing to go that
route.
