FWIW I've had an Epson 4870 for a few months now and very happy with it.
Used so far with 135, 6x6, and 5x4 formats (so far only BW for the latter two).
I looked hard at Canon 9900F at the time, but decided against it after
reading reports of inferior performance, poor software, and (most
importantly) a bad attitude to software support. See

Of course that may all have changed with the latest versions, but I would
check carefully first if I was buying.
