hi buck,

i haven’t heard of the pluctek 7200 but i will give you one reason why the epson prefection is better – you can load 4 strips of 6 frame negatives in it and let is scan 24 images while you do something else. i have worked of a few scanners, even ones that are the same system as the pluctek and you have to sit there for every frame, which might not seem much but in the long run it will add up to hours that you might spend doing other things. i’m using an epson prefection flatbed and i love the resolution – super high, it even gets the grain on my trix scanns. and as i mentioned before, you load it up, set the adjustments for every frame in preview and press go and it scanns while you do other things. and plus you can use it as a normal fladbed for scanning documents, and you have the advantage of other formats too. i definitelly recomend it.

i cheked the price of the one you wrote on ebay and it’s almost the same as this one from ebay too:
