I'll try that, thanks. I'm mainly just curious as to what the extra $300
for a dedicated scanner is supposed to buy. Is it a case of paying more
for less?

Keep in mind that these things are just (electro)-mechanical devices.
Lubrication gets dry after a while. Most of the materials in these devices
are usually excellent quality. The metal or nylon doesn't usually wear
out.
Screwdriver, vacuum-cleaner in reverse (blow out the dust and dirt)
and some lubricating spray, and you have a good chance that you
can keep your device going for another year, two, three or four.
