Acer Scanwit (either with or without IR) is definitely worth looking at.
Some flatbeds have dedicated transparency attachments, but I couldn't
recommend one--if you're using M6's, you might be disappointed with the
quality of flatbed-scanned slides (and maybe with the Scanwit, too, but it
does a pretty decent job on sharp slides).
Best regards--LRA
