Not knocking Vuescan... I had it with my Dimage I scanner and it definitely outshined Minolta's scanning software. With the Dimage IV... it looks like they've incorporated much of what Vuescan had.

As far as dust... I scrupulously clean the neg or slide with compressed air before scanning... even wiping gently with a microfiber cloth if there's a film of some kind left behind from processing lab on the slide. Digital Ice does remove most of the dust but I'm insecure as to what else it's removing as well...

if Vuescan doesn't support Digital ICE and you not shooting Kodachrome or
conventional B&W, you are in for many more hours in front of Photoshop
fixing dust that would have been removed automatically. E-6 and C-41 films
are hugely more scannable when using hardware dust and scratch removal.
