I can imagine how difficult is get a "clean" image from a scanning, I've never heard about Neat Image, it works well? I've take a look on the website it looks interesting, but IMO the real test is when you print a large print. I don't know what to do with such images, I have the same problem with many of my old negatives. AFAIK the professional Drum scanners are the best ones to reproduce a diffuser light enlarger, maybe you can ask for a professional scanning, on the other hand the grain and the dust are less noticeable in the darkroom process than in a scanner, in such cases I've asked myself if it could be better work up to a scanning on a good flatbead scanner of an enlargement, and on this case I think that the copy it is not necessary that it is a perfect copy, a soft one would be enough, after you can work your scanned print and modify with Photoshop. Did you never tried this?
