If ICE works as well as folks say it does, I'd go for the ICE. Manual retouching of dust and scratches, which you _will_ have far too many of, rates right up there with pounding sand down rat holes for recreational enjoyment. I speak from personal experience.

Hey, I am looking at a couple of Minolta Film Scanners. 1. the Quick Scan Dual III a 2800 bpi 16 bit USB 2.0 scanner. and 2. the Scan Elite 2800 bpi 12 bit SCSI scanner. The Elite has ICE-3, multi pass noise reduction, etc. The Dual III has 16 bits per color, etc. The question I have is this. Is the extra features on the Elite worth while, or does the higher DMax of the Dual overcome those features. Or, in other words, which would you go for?
