It isn't something that typically came up in discussion.  I also can't
tell you without "researching" further how much a Minolta Dual scan II
weights (not much), and I have one 2 feet away.  Well, actually, I just
looked it up... 1.5 kg.  

So, let's see... your scanner weights 6X more than mine.  Mine costs
about $425 US x6 =  $2550 US... so I guess even by the pound, mine costs
less.  Well, I feel a lot better knowing that. ;-)
