 Is it the 4000 or the 4000+ that's currently 
available?  I couldn't tell from a quick look at the Polaroid 
website.  I did notice that the rebates appear to have been extended until 
January 31st  -- a good thing, no doubt.

  David. Yes, it is better but depending on your use and 
  requirements is it worth the extra money? Silverfast has developed a 
  multi-scan function for the 4000+ that I am told works well. Have not seen 
  it myself. I would imagine one could develop a test that showed the 
  differences but I am not sure you would see that much difference on a 
  practical basis. One thing I have found out is in the film scanner 
  community one mans definition of great/wonderful  can be less than 
  adequate for another man. Frankly and at least based on US pricing it is 
  tough to beat the present Sprintscan 4000 
  deal. David

  This is really a question for David Hemingway but maybe others 
  have experience...
  How much better is the SS4000 + compared to the 
  'old' 4000? On paper it's a better bit depth, am I correct? The Firewire 
  doesn't matter, are the results noticeably better?
  And, just for 
  35mm, will the SS120 produce a better scan than the SS4000 or the 
  4000+?
