Absolutely agree.

Nope. It's not a test. It's just for fun, take a wild guess and so on. There are plenty of good reads available - there is a review somewhere which compares both the Coolscan and Imacon as well as Epson v750 and some other manufacturers and spans to 100 (one hundred) pages PDF file, covering every single detail you can think of.

Jump on this, you might get an Imacon (which WILL blow the doors off the Epson and Nikon) for $1400.

Now you are talking! At a price that is less than asking price of many Nikon scanners on the bay. Some enterprising person could probably buy it and recover the cost by offering a high quality scanning service
