Having scanned for many years with an older HP Scanjet 4C scsi scanned, this was a big difference. This Fuji is fast! Scans both sides at the same time accurately, still provides me with the flatbed for those difficult scans. This new scanner does not have the heavy weight and feel of my older HP scanner so I'm not sure how well or how long it will last. I am for now very pleased asst the speed ,and quality of the scans.
