Of course a $3000 scanner should give PERFECT scans.  There is no reason
they shouldn't.  Scanners are electronic devices, and technology drives the
prices down, as well as demand.  Many more people are buying scanners.  They
are far far cheaper to make today then they were 3 years, much less 10 years
ago.

I don't mean to sound crass, but you really can't be serious, can you?
