I've been using FilmGet because I haven't been able to get good results
with the (unregistered version of) VueScan. Very unsaturated, low
contrast scans. I'm using it with USB, but I'm considering getting a
cheap SCSI card to see how much faster it is.

I haven't tried scanning B&W, either original or chromogenic, with the
Canon.

I believe that the "IR Cleaning" in the VueScan menus is simply taking
advantage of the same IR scanning capability that FARE uses (on the
Canon, ICE on others).

It does. I'd guess it's due to switching light sources between the IR
pass and the normal pass.
