I currently already have the XA-S film scanner, and seeing if upgrading is worth while. My main issue with the XA-S is its really slow to use at 5000 and 10000 dpi. And I do use those resolutions as well. B&H currently has both the XA Plus as well as the XE plus scanners available, and the XA Plus is more expensive. Both seem to do 10000 dpi. What is the differences between these two scanners, and which one is technically the better unit (in all senses of the word)? Will they at least have the same, if not better scan quality that my XA-S gives me? And have they solved the film advance issue with these new models that I run into with my XA-S? My unit advances the film in inaccurate ways at times and its a pain to correct. Whos bought these? And I assume both new models have digital ICE onboard?

Just did an AI question. The XA-Plus is the better scanner. 4.2 density, faster speed, auto focus, and automated batch scans.

Anyone have anything else to contribute?
