The question, Ken, is what other choice do you really have witin the
constraints you suggest.
A 35mm dedicated film scanner for $300 you can do (the Minolta Dimage
Scan Dual IV would probably be my suggestion at that price) but, it
can't do 6x6. In fact, anything that can in a dedicated film scanner is
going to set you back considerably more than $300.
Therefore, the option open to you is a flatbed. Epson has several
within your budget and some are quite good. The biggest issue these
days is probably Newton Rings from film contacting the glass surface.
It can be a bit of a problem, but there are ways around it vis well
constructed film carriers.
