In the past year, we've purchased an Epson GT-13000 and we loved it so much, we just ordered another one, but the next model up, the GT-20000. http://www.amazon.com/Epson-GT-20000-B11B195011-Performance-Scanner/dp/B 001AZDI3A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1216338885&sr=1-1
It's a little over $1000, with a maximum scanning bed of 11x17". For larger pieces, we take them into the photography studio and shoot them on a copy stand.

The final product needs to be of archival quality, where we "never" have to touch the original again :-) What is your experience with larger flatbed, tabletop scanners? Which one is the largest that performs well (i.e. maximum read area of 11 x 17 or more)? Any recommendations? Thank you!
