No, that is not the same thing. It would be the same if you paid a thousand 
dollars for the cable that connects the scanner to the computer because "it 
transmits the essence of the captured image" better than your regular cable 
and it was as thick as your arm. It would be the same if you bought your flat 
bed scanner because it has special multicoated glass on the platen, or even 
better, you bought your scanner with the factory glass, then upgraded with 
the 3 thousand dollar "special glass." 

Take a drive into a big city like Dallas and look up a small, hi end audio 
store. You will be shocked out or your mind. Then buy a 5$ little magazine 
and read about the gear. These people are from another planet, no doubt.
