I can't speak for the Polaroid, but the Nikon film strip holder
hasn't changed since they introduced the LS-10 ... and it is my
preference for the LS-2000 because it holds the film flatter than the
film strip feeder.
Regarding upgrading from the LS-2000 to the LS-4000, many will,
because to be a player with the stock photography bureaus, they'll
insist on 50Mb files ... somewhat unjustified in my mind for 95% of
the uses for what they sell ... but it IS their game to control.
As much as I'd like to upgrade ... and although I've never looked
back on all my LS purchases, I'm glad I am a hobbiest and was never in
a deadline situation. All Nikon softwares put many users through fits
in the beginnings. You really did need to know SCSI hardware to iron
things out for dependable workflow ... but once it it was working, it
seemed fine (mine anyway). And, now it is "firewire" ... I am in NO
hurry :o)
my US$0.02 ... shAf :o)
