I am looking into getting a new scanner. I am on the fence between the Epson V700 and the Microtek ArtixScan M1.

I have been always a big avid Epson fan. I print work prints with Epson printers, and just have had great luck. My previous scanner is an epson but I want to upgrade.

I was gun ho to purchase the V700 but then someone started talking to me about the Microtek Scanner and now I am on the fence.

Any advice/input would be awesome. I will be scanning mostly color 4x5 film.

THANKS!
