At the current price of the the Benq Scanwit 2740S (on Ebay under $400
US, new) anyone needing a scanner with dICE should consider this a "best
value".  In fact, at that price, it almost might be worth considering as
a second scanner for those "hard to repair with cloning tool" scans, and
it makes a good back-up in case your main squeeze needs repair.

For example, for the price of a Minolta Elite II, you could own a
Minolta Dual II AND a Benq 2740S with dICE.  Weird.
