rumor has it that Nikon is going to be dropping the 4000ED and replacing it with a new model, possibly at a lower cost. nothing substantial enough for me to know whether i should believe the rumor or not. the list price plus rebate has dropped to under $1400 and you may be able to get it for under $1300. i consulted with a couple of owners of it and the 8000ED before i decided to buy one. BTW enabling Digital ICE seems to have only a small effect on scanning speed.
