While it is certainly oversampling, we have found that the Scanstation makes 
much better scans from 8 and S8 in 4K as opposed to 2K. If you are talking 
about a small collection it will fit on a single drive. We keep three copies in 
different locations. And I echo the thought that scanning is not a one-time 
affair; there will always be reasons why one wants to go back and rescan in the 
future, especially as sensors become able to capture elements of the image that 
contain visual or other information.
