The sprintscan is now bundled with Silverfast and Silverfast HDR, which are
both top-quality high end scanning apps and run identically under Mac and
Windoze, so the software issue is now really a non-issue.
I run the Sprintscan 4000 user's group mailing list, which you can check out

I'm very happy indeed with this machine. The extra dpi over the LS 2000
makes a lot of difference IMO and again IMO your leica lenses deserve it!
If you're interested in making prints bigger than 11x14 I don't think it
really has competition at the moment, though the Nikon LS3000 (4000 dpi) may
well change that when it finally arrives.
