Are the Epson V550/V600 scanners still the best slab-scanning options in 2025?

I really like my V600 and I got a really good deal on it through Best Buy a few years ago. Had no idea they’re now discontinued and selling for $500-600 :open_mouth:

I highly recommend the V600 if you’re scanning for a business purpose. At $675 its hard to justify for personal usage in my opinion.

Heres a scan from mine done in less than ideal conditions (bright room, blanket over open scanner)
