I see the Epson V39 is considerably cheaper, does anyone have experience with that one or any other current scanners they could recommend?

I purchased the V39 but it did not scan my graded cards well at all, as Oz mentioned it is a CIS lens scanner which takes off-focus scans of graded cards. I noted the differences in the scanning quality here: [www.elitefourum.com/t/cis-vs-ccd-scanner-lens-warning-info/13730/1](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/cis-vs-ccd-scanner-lens-warning-info/13730/1)

I returned my V39 and purchased a V37 which has been awesome for me.
