I have a Polaroid Sprint Scan 4000. Apart from scanning older negatives, it does not do anything. I htink I have not used it in the last 3 months, and shot 2 rolls of film in total (other then the wedding I shot). After I started going digital, never went back. But then I do not do anything beyond 11x14 much, maybe 1-2 a year and D30 and definitely D60 can do pretty decent. so it seems in your case, digital makes a lot of sense.
