I scan b&w as 16 bit grey scale. I can't see what would be gained by
scanning them as 48 bit RGB. Is there any difference other than larger
file sizes?

This is a question for which there might not be a clear right  
answer.  when scanning BW negs what are the pros/cons of scanning  
grayscale vs. RGB?  I ran across one commentator who said it did not  
matter - others feel strongly that it should always be done RGB.  BTW  
I'm using a Nikon CoolScan and VueScan.
