You can search for an used Epson Perfection 4990, very good model and you can scan 8x10 (or 2 4x5 at a time) Some on eBay now, look for the one who have all film holders at 260$

Does elements have a merge function?
Not sure which elements you have. In mine you go to New > (at top of the page) and that takes you to several merging schemes.

Thanks Les, yes, that's where I eventually found it..
I did end up taking the advice of Ginette and found the 4990 with everything including the box for $300 + shipping. Once I get it working I'll probably sell the V600.
