I'm getting closer to buying my scanner now, and went to CompUSA to see if they stocked the so-called 'Pro' version of the 4990.
It was previously my understanding that the 'pro' 4990 came with Silverfast software, and that the regular 4990 didn't.
However, it seems that the regular version does come with Silverfast (SE).
Is Silverfast SE sufficient for basic 4x5 scans? What are the limitations, vs the Full version?
Another point: my only reason for buying locally (versus mail order) is the relative ease of returning a faulty machine if necessary. This idea, however, looks like turning a '~$400 scanner' into a $600 expenditure (if I go for the 'pro' version + sales tax), etc. etc. Where's the best/cheapest place (in US) to buy a 4990, with decent return options?
Thanks!
