You simply have to get the contrast correct in post-processing, which
is much easier to do if you want to create a more contrasty image from
a less contrasty image, rather than the other way around. Maybe I'm
wrong about that, but I don't think so. I used to use Silverfast, but
it generally produced a scan which was too contrasty and difficult to
tame. Makes more sense to me to get the scan safely into PS without
losing any information in the process and then tweak it from there.
Vuescan is perfect for that.

I have literally thousands of film scans in AdobeRGB. It seems too
late in the game to change for me!
