The light sources in the Nik*n, semi-coherent, and Polar*id, diffuse,
are quite different. Those scanners with relatively coherent light
sources are the ones that most need ICE, while the diffuse ones don't
benefit enough to justify the effect on sharpness. Also, you need an
infrared channel for things like ICE to work. With my Can*scan, between
the one at a time nature of scanning so each frame is dust-offed, and
the diffuse light source, I have very little spotting to do.
With an auto feeder, slide or roll, some kind of spot control would be
pretty important.

I have a Polaroid SS4000, hence no ICE, and have never missed it. I
shouldn't be skeptical of something I've never used, and I think I

else's film, but I firmly believe I wouldn't use it on my own.
Anyway, "indispensable" is such a strong word when there are those who
live without that thing freely and willingly.
