Personally, I wouldnt and didnt buy a low price scanner for the
following reasons:
    
    1.  Get the best scanner, cause your film/time worth the best.
        Same reason I bought a prime lens and not a zoom, and use
        very fine grain film.
    2.  If you get a low end scanner, you get low quality - this
        is quite true in all electronics stuff and everything else.
    3.  Low end will get obsolete really fast, and the investment
        is not worth it.
    4.  Dust scratch and other nasty thing during scanning, can 
        the low end scanner clean up those? or are you going to spend
        couple days after scanning and clean it up in photoshop?
        This will be your problem if you scan a lot of film.
