In general I agree with that and especially appreciate the control that NS 
gives me. There are, however, difficult slides especially old Kodachromes 
where Vuescan does a better job so it's good to have both of them.

Agreed. Version 3.1 of NS still crashes on my system from time to time but 
I've learned to live with it. I just wish that Nikon's programmers were 
even remotely as clever as Ed Hamrick because Vuescan is much faster than 
NS in all its functions. It's frustrating that NS performs file operations 
so glacially.
