Paul,
I have the Epson 2450, basically the same software. I find that the
Epson Twain driver works pretty well for quite a few things. I tend
to use Silverfast more often for the following reasons:
Allows better control over type of film being scanned
Provides for better control of the crop - Twain tends to crop off
too much sometimes
Quicker to work with for scan after scan - doesn't require a
preview scan for each time it is loaded
I find that both are useful - depending on what is being scanned, one
or the other works better. Can't say as I would want to only use one
of them exclusively.

Best regards,
Bruce
