 In my situation, the difference has been big, I am not sure I would
 use the term 'huge'.

If you want 'huge,' you have to step up to a drum scanner. ;-)

Actually, that does not seem to be true anymore, at least for some drum scanners. Here are a couple of review sites for the Nikon 8000 and the Polaroid SS120 in which the differences with an Imacon Flextight appear to be negligible and some of the scans of the less expensive scanners appear to be superior in sharpness to the drum scanner. You can view the on line scans or, if you want, download the complete image file to view it in Photoshop.
