        This could be due to a couple of factors.  If there is any tendency for the
flatbed to produce a softer image it will compress to a smaller JPEG.  Also,
film scanners will tend to enhance the film grain, which would be absent in
a high resolution print produced with analog methods.  The enhanced grain
would also increase the JPEG file size.
