David,
May I suggest that Polaroid let Ed barrow an SS120 ASAP. I think that
Polaroid (as well as I personally :-) has a major interest in having VueScan
support for the SS120 as soon as the product is shipping.

A word on noise and multi-canning.
Multiscanning is normally used to eliminate CCD noise. The actual CCD used
in a scanner is THE most source of this noise. Manufacturers can elect to us
one of several CCD's in there scanners. The selection process can be
influenced by many things such as price,
