OT: Need Filn Scanner Buying Advice

[DeVries <caddis@jps.net>]

Help please,
I'm in the market for a film scanner between US $500 and $1K.  Am considering:
Minolta Scan Dual II,
or a  refurbed LS-30 for $500 or so,
New Coolscan IV,
or maybe a LS-2000.
Will be scanning lots of b&w negs.  Any advice for best performance/price 
in this group?
Thanks,
Dave

P.S. Have been using a friends LS-1000 off and on for several years and am 
generally satisfied, but now want my own and know that improvements have 
been made since that model.
