I must have missed a post somewhere - I don't recall this comparison being 
mentioned but it
would certainly be an odd one given that the SS120 is an MF scanner!  It would 
be more
sensible to the compare the SS4000Plus (or the Microtek 4000tf) to the LS4000.  
Given that
the I've seen the 4000tf priced at around £800, the arguament then becomes why 
fork out an
additional £400+ and still have to put glass around the film.........
