Congrats on the camera! I have the same one. At least, I think I do. It's a horseman, and it's a monorail, but there are no markings indicating what model. At school we had LEs, and mine is a little different than those because the front standard has geared focusing, horiz/vert shift, and the tripod block is geared as well. Other than that it's an LE.
If you like it as much as I like mine, you'll be happy
I have mine in a lowepro AW trekker 2 pack, and it just fits. With lenses, 'pod and such, it's pretty heavy to hike around with, but I can manage.
As for scanners, I got this "Canoscan D2400U" thingamajig a few months ago. It was $100 (used). (well, 10,000 yen, but whatever). It's an OK scanner; certainly not as good as the Imacon I used to have access to, let alone drum scans, but as I don't have a darkroom now, it'll have to do. Of course, with this scanner, I can't really tell the difference between Acros and HP5 when scanning at max res. So that's kindof an indication that I'm not really picking up all I can off the film.
Good luck with the camera. Bank on a couple weeks before you really get comfortable with it, but once you do, it may be real tough to go back to anything smaller!
