Hi John, thanks for this and for your message yesterday about the software on MacUpdate. I did find the offer you referred to. I've ordered the Fujitsu ScanSnap. Once it gets here I plan to demo VueScan and DoccuScan Plus, but my current leaning is to go with DocuScan Plus. Not sure how I'll feel about having the OCR performed in the cloud, but I like that it offers the option of converting to BRF since there isn't currently another option for doing that on the Mac.
BTW, if anyone else is thinking about this, there's a nice demo of DocuScan for Mac that you can find at http://www.docuscanplus.com. I was pretty much of a skeptic, but I have to say the demo looks pretty slick.
