I newest
version of Insight V 5.5, which will be available shortly, will have some additional
negative profiles designed to handle broader negative exposure’s which would not work with the
current profiles,

I'd also recommend trying Polaroid
Insight first, and I agree with David's other comments shown here, as well.
If you think you need the power of SilverFast, then make sure you upgrade to
version 5.5 if you scan color negatives Version 5.5 gives you something called
NegaFix and it's really needed for scanning color negatives.

John in OKC-
Once you've gotten comfortable with Polacolor, and scanning slides, only
then
would I recommend learning Silverfast. It has WAY more tools than you'll
need for now, and the documentation is lousy (the PDF I downloaded doesn't
even show you the button for ejecting film!)
Or if you have negs, Vuescan is definitely worth it.
Have fun,
