Does anyone have experience with the CanoScan 9000F Mark II?

I'm think about scanning medium format slides and having some of the files printed commercially at up to 2' X 3'. I'm wondering about the quality even at the highest resolution of an under $200 scanner.

Aweful -- just aweful. The software acompanying the CanoScan 8000F Mark II is nearly unusable. The quality of scans is not relevant if you cant effectivly initiat a scan and save it in the location and format you prefere. I highly recommomend avoiding this device. The Epson Perfection v600 has a much better software interface.
