Hi Paul
Have no idea how bowed your slides are. I have a minolta elite
5400. I frequently get edge blur with slides or negatives. I has not
bothered me that much but I certainly do not get edge to edge sharp
focusing. Have also used a LS-8000 and before a LS-4500 with the same
problem
I guess your only alternative is to find someone with each of
the scanners or a store which has both and will let you plug in a laptop to
test them "so you may decide which you want to buy".
Best Alex.
