Thanks Pam for your suggestion, I have looked at T2500 as well, and it's a
very promising 
scanner... at a price. The URL you gave me is useful, thanks!

The upper price limit is the Microtek X12 pro, or around 350-400$ maximum.
The new 2400 dpi canon flatbed might be good, but it's sheduled to come to
shelves in May. Perhaps we will wait for it, if I found a nice review of
it. Canon used to use the same double-arangement of low-density (600dpi)
CCDs for their 1200dpi scanners, and I guess this new scanner could be the
same, two 1200 dpi CCDs per colour channel to get to 2400 interpolated. God
knows...
But the price is higher. 500$, <400$ for the X12pro. And Canon's without
Silverfast.

BTW, the link is

or

and paste it together, if the first wraps.
