I forgot to mention that my contract is also for five years. What does that
work out to be? Cornerstone estimates that their monitor is about 40 times
more reliable than Polaroid estimates the SS4000 to be? That should tell us
something.

Thank you for the reply. The scans look very good. I have tons of slides

BTW, on these lower end (albeit 48bit 1200dpi scanners) the manufacturers

It's a dubious specification anyhow, since there's no standardised measurement
technique.

Tony,
The Perfection 1640 has a 4x5 inch window for transparency adaptor, and
would therefore not work for making a contact sheet from 35mm. The system
uses plastic holders, keeping the film roughly 1/16 inch above the glass.

That is precisely my point. Highly mechanical things are less reliable and
so the service contracts are more expensive. I generally get them for
mechanical things but not for purely electronic things, unless they're dirt
cheap like that Cornerstone monitor. I always get them for CD players
Hopefully I'll never need it, but the $100
seemed like
money well spent at the time.
Hopefully you WILL need it, but after parts are no longer available to
repair it. Then you'll get a brand new machine probably higher performance
and reliability than the last.
