I can add my support to the Epson 1200U as well.  I purchased one a few months
ago and have been quite pleased.  In direct comparisons I have done with the HP
film scanner it's obvious that it doesn't have the same resolution at max dpi.
Larger transparencies up to 4x5 look great, but I have no way to directly
compare anything other than 35mm.  The price is definitely right.
