Seems like a "major sea change" between Acer and Nikon! ;-) What it boils
down to is how much more you're willing (and able) to pay to avoid the
hassles. I use an Acer, it's adequate, and I like it, but it sometimes
drives me nuts. If my projects and means weren't of limited scope, I'd
rather have a filmscanner with more power and features, and the IR track on
the Nikons (and others)sounds like a bona fide extra bennie, with more
possibility for expanding your horizons.
Any way you slice it, a filmscanner is an *investment* and paying more to
get more probably isn't something you'd regret.
Another alternative, of course, is the high-end digital cameras, with a film
camera in reserve. B/W is no problem--you just dump the color information
with software.
