[OM] Scanning grain

We have discussed this before once or twice, but here is a question.  I 
have just put my first roll through a new LT-1 (thanks Bill) and I have 
developed the results (FP4, Rodinal 9 minutes).  The negatives look 
utterly gorgeous, but my scans (5400ppi, output at 3000ppi, RGB 48bit) 
have been disappointing.  The grain is dominant and reducing contrast 
in plain areas.

So, should I scan at a lower input resolution, in greyscale, to get 
closer to what I would see if I printed the negs in the darkroom?
