I agree and that is why I'm talking so much about options.
Visiting the AmericanRadioHistory scanner page is quite interesting.
Here's the link again

And the photos show an i3000 series scanner.
I have tried to optimize my scanners to the task.
35 mm negs and slides Nikon Coolscan LS5000 -
about 50,000 images (the slide feeder makes this work)
all other negs/slides/prints Epson V700
about 8,500 images (including some 35 mm slides)
Paper documents Xerox DocuMate 3115 duplex sheet feed scanner
over 10,000 page impressions
B-size Brother MFC-6510DW multifunction
probably about 500 page impressions, maybe more.
