I'm considering replacing my aging Umax Astra 1200S (maily because my new PC does'nt have an ISA slot for the SCSI card) and am considering the Epson Perfection 2450. Would this be a big step up from the Umax? Is there anything superior in the same price range? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
