I have the same feelings. What really irked me was the whole "1200 dpi"
issue with the Perfection 1200 scanners. They're really just darn good
600 dpi scanners. Oh well, I guess 1200dpi for the cost of a 600dpi
machine was really "too good to be true". But their scanners & printers
really do a great job, especially for the $, so I guess the bottom line
is to just ignore the hype. It does still bother me though.

I heartily agree with this recommendation. If it can't do it, it should
be grayed out.
