wonderful. Combine that with the edge to edge sharpness without a glass
holder
(which you need for the Nikon) and you just can't compare. Plus I can scan
4x5.
I had a Nikon 9000 and now have a 646. No measurements needed; just looking
at
the files shows a significant difference.
So just my experience...

Don't do it! I made the mistake of scanning one of my negs with an Imacon.
You
can see every corner of every piece of grain! My Epson flatbed scans...well
there is grain there. Fortunately for the prints I make the Epson does just
fine from MF.
