I would be very careful with cheap drum scans. It's like getting a cheap print. If you are satisfied with "whatever" quality then you win.
You only get what you pay for... There is a difference between slapping a neg on the drum and scanning what's there and having someone who is a photographer understand what you are trying to do and make sure you have all the detail you are hoping (and paying) for.
In the many discussions here and the high end scanning group the consensus has always been that the operator (much more than the equipment) was the most important factor in getting a great scan.
