If you haven't heard about Polaroid's upcoming Sprintscan 120 check
out the link below for a pic and specs.  Price is rumored to be as low
as $2500!

If you do want 4x5, I still feel the T-2500 is the best value in a new
scanner.  The best value used is probably the Leafscan 45, if you can
find one with low miles especially.
