I would venture to add that you don't *really* even need to go 4000 dpi. Dynamic range is more important for those difficult scans I think, although it's probably true that scanners with high DR are also the higher dpi ones. Without bragging, I just have a Canon FS2710 2700 dpi film scanner, and people are always asking me how I get my scans so sharp. Experimentation and technique is the answer, just like photography itself.
Withough fundamentally disagreeing, I want to point out that on the scanning list people *have* been speaking highly about, and I've seen some impressive scans from, the newer generation flatbeds with transparency adapters, like the Epson 3200. I don't know how it compares to an equivalent 4000 dpi dedicated film scanner, but being able to do MF negs and slides would be nice.
