Hi, just wanted to drop a note that Avision scanners are also an excellent solution as they provde me with full Specs even since 1998 or so and I can use hose to write whatever GPL code I want. The current models do not have a ultra-sonic-double feed dection, though. But future models are said to include such a sensor. Notheless they are very good machines, even resold by Xerox, Kodak, et al.
