If you scan older negs then spotting does become a problem and time consuming. 
therefore ICE

Old negs do loose colour  therefore ROC

Grain does show in negs more than tranny

You don't have to use them  - but having them is very convenient - I would not 
be without
them

I have used ICE now on the Nikon LS2000  for some 3 years and would not like to 
bulk scan
without it. Now have the Minolta SMPro with ice cubes and the higher resolution 
shows more
defects than ever - even with ICE on.  I am into scanning my old 120 negs some 
stored and
never touched these still have defects.

Trust me   -  and for 3500 neg scans thats a lot of work without ICE.
