    <pre> I am in the process of purchasing both a microform scanner and a document scanner. I am looking for advice and/or recom endations from anyone who has experience or knowledge of the following models.

    I have narrowed the the choices of microform scanner to a Minolta MS2000 (identical to the Bell & Howell 2400) or the Ca on MS400 . These won't see very heavy use but I do need something that will last for the long haul.

    For the document scanner I'm considering:
       Bell & Howell 200D FB
       Canon DR-5020
       Fujitsu M3097DG
       Kodak 1500

    I looked for something capable of processing 20-40 ppm at 300dpi, and these all fit the bill. I need to OCR around 40,0 0 pages of text but there will be very little work with images.

    Any and all info would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
