This scanner was the only one that had a lid which covered the whole page - US Legal. Was within a price range much the same as the epson 1600 (which ive been told is a double stepping 800dpi scanner). It did scan at 1200dpi. I needed to proof 6x17 negs. Would say much the same comments as Dana. The 4000U scanner suited my needs at a price where as the PL III was much more expensive.
