I had a all in one that I loved. I thought it did great scans untill I got this one. Perfect in all ways. Just need a seperate printer. Trust me well worth it. I have this Epson and also the all in one I just use for the printer. Worth the $$$ Here is a link to Epson where you can get it for $149.99 after rebate. Its $300 everywhere else. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?oid=53540925&ref=r0302DMb45
