I am extremely pleased with my 4990, which has an ICE facility.   
However, I use a replacement film holder which I bought from

http://www.betterscanning.com/

a couple of years ago.  They do a better job of holding down my 120  
film than those parts provided (with my 2450 anyway, I haven't tried  
the 4990's holders).
