I've tried several scanners, and the units with ICE(Nikon 4000 ED I'm
most familiar with) are incredible. Indispensable? Well, you have to try
it to see what you've been living without. It saves a LOT of time over
editing out defects manually.
My best advice: there are several online resources that review
photographic equipment, i.e. scanners, etc.. Do the research, If you
have the resources or acquaintances, try some out!

Joel,
Perhaps you would never use it, but I do. I've owned/used the SS4000,
SS4000+ and 4000ED. I kept the 4000ED because of the batch scan, but
SS4000+ they
are all fine scanners. ICE, though, is incredible, at least in its
latest version (that's an important point, I believe only the latest
Nikon and Minolta have the latest version). When used in 'light' mode,
it eliminates virtually all dust and scratches with NO detectible
softening.
My second biggest problem with the SS4000 was its dust problem.
