I'll second that. Think of scanning at a much higher DPI as obtaining more
information, which can then be reduced in an "average" fashion ("muting" noise
in the original scan, too). And don't be afraid to play around -- the first
scan is rarely the optimal one. One caveat: don't scan any higher than the
highest *mechanical* resolution, or the software in the scanner will simply
perform interpolations, defeating much (though not all) of the value of the
higher-DPI scan.
