There was a review posted somewhere from a French magazine. It was a 
summary, not a full translation. Apparently, the French magazines haven't 
discovered the art of massaging reviews to get greater advertising, but they 
do have a reputation for examining things thoroughly and even-handed. The 
reviewer wasn't so impressed as other reviewers. It would seem that it still 
won't replace a film scanner, at least as long as there are film scanners to 
replace.

Yup. I got mine from a member of the multiPro group that decided he could 
make more money by farming out that part of his work. It was pristine, 
included a spare holder to convert for glassless Xpan scanning, and a 
scanhancer. I paid about $1450, and I don't regret it a bit.

Nope, mine look great together. I had the 5400 a while before the multipro, 
and decided that it was worth more to keep it than what I could get for it 
used.

It's only money.
