Hi there, At over 2000 euro? not a chance. I only use it because the university for which I work had it lying around and I borrowed it until a student comes in and gets it back. I would honestly say to spend a couple of hundred of whatever currency you operate in, and buy a decent scanner, Vuscan and ABYY FineReader Express. You'll get the same results for a fraction of the cost.
