The Polaroid is considerably cheaper than the Microtek at this time. I also
like everything I've heard about their support. They seem extremely
interested in improving their software offering, continually updating it.
Silverfast is bundled with it now. I sent them email asking a couple
questions and received a response in two days, which is what they promise on
their web site.
