Canoscan 9000F

I'm seeing some decent MF scans from the Canoscan 9000F. Does this scanner have a decent reputation for medium format scans here? Anyone want to share their opinion?

I have one and am very happy with it, but since it's the first film scanner I've owned I have nothing to compare it with.

Are you scanning medium format with it?

The 9000 is optically as good as the Epson V500/600/4490 but I prefer the Epsons for the higher film suspension height (less chance of Newton Rings) and the EpsonScan software which seems more user friendly and intuitive. You can often get a great deal on a refurb'd Epson at the EpsonStore's clearance center.

Yes, I scan 120 black and white. I don't use the scans for prints, but the scans look good on the computer screen.
