Howard, you obviously meant you don't miss ROC feature rather then IR
cleaning (ICE) since the originals are all susceptible to dust regardless of
being old or new and can be scratched right
away from the processor.
Otherwise, although  really enjoy ICE cleaning and GEM in many cases I also
haven't had an opportunity to try out the ROC not having old faded out stuff
(my photo experience isn't longer then 5 years so far).

Regards,
Alex Z

<<can anyone tell me if they've actually used and/or read any reviews on the
polaroid sprintscan 4000 plus?>>

I have one and have been quite happy with it.   I find the Firewire
connection extremely fast.  The shadow noise is exceedingly low and
sharpness
also excellent.   My slides are all new so I don't particularly miss the IR
cleaning, though that would be nice.  I am a relative novice so am not sure
I
can give you real 'technical' data or evaluation but would be glad to help
you out if you have specific questions.

The only thing that I don't like has more to do with the software.  I get a
greenish color cast that is easy to fix in PS with the Polaroid software
that
I do not get with VueScan.
