The extra scanning time is worth it.

IMHO if you scan to 16 bit there's no need to adjust anything (except 
focus), because you are getting everything the sensor is capable of 
anyway. Since I don't have any software with 16 bit processing 
capability yet, it's better for me to adjust some controls on scanner...

Usually I set focus manually for each slide, then I turn on 16x multi 
pass scanning, and finally I adjust the dynamic range and the gray scale 
using the drivers controls.

Bedo.
