You can't upgrade.

I thought you already had an LS2000?  FWIW I haven't found the dynamic range
to be a huge problem with Vuescan.  At the point where shadow detail is lost
in a
slide scan I'm seldom interested in seeing it on a print anyway.  The LS30's
DR is
more than adequate for any kind of C41 film.  If I was really serious about
scanning
silver based B&W I'd need a different scanner - my (limited) experience of
scanning
B&W film is that it's much too dense for the LS30.
