Moreno,

I have used the SS120 and the 8000 extensively and my experience does not
reflect yours.  I had fewer issues with The SS120 than the 8000.  Using
Silverfast and IT8 calibration, the SS120 provided much more accurate color
rendition, sharp scans and no banding.  I did not like the film holders as
well but nothing is perfect.  Also the one that I had quit (powered down)
several times in the middle of scanning.  I really liked the ICE with the
Nikon and at the time the nikon people ASSURED me that the banding problem
was due to a fault in my particular unit so I sent the SS120 back and got
another 8000.  You know the rest of the story.  So your 'worst' scanner may
not be someone else's.

Lawrence
