Minolta is not on your list, but they make a scanner (DPCS 3000) that looks *down* at an open volume and corrects for the curve of the pages. It can handle an oversize double-page spread. It's 8-bit grayscale, but you might want to look at it anyhow. There is a teasingly small bit of information at http://ows.minoltausa.com/minolta/owa/productdesc.list?productid=9000003&frame=N
