I want some recommendations on which one of the two would be a good
purchase. Price (for refurbished) is about the same. I cannot find
any real difference between the two looking at specs. So maybe
someone knows how they differ.. I currently use an Epson 2450 that I
like, but think one of these would be an upgrade. Thanks.

BTW: What is the deal with Digital ICE technology. A good thing? or
not.

Digital ICE is wonderful, I would not buy a scanner without it. But it
does not work on all film types. It's best, by far, for color
negatives, results with color slides vary greatly depending on the film
type and the exact implementation. But when it works (and it works very
well indeed on almost all color negatives), it's pure magic.

And one more question: how do they compare to the V10 with respect to
scanning books?

It seems like nobody wants to answer questions about V10 or V100.
I myself have stared at the Epson site for hours on end trying to
determine what the difference between those models is. There doesn't
seem to be any. Do you know, by any chance?

I have come to essentially the same conclusion:)

Giving Epson another call, they said that V10/V100 is not really for
scanning books because after 1 hour they need a pause to cool down.
However, it was a hopeless attempt to let them say anything about a
comparison to V350 and 4490, except that the latter "are better and
yet better". Testing in a local shop (Berlin) is no alternative,
either, because nowhere would they dare to connect any scanner to a PC
for a test scan (being afraid of losing money). And PC magazines? They
enjoy testing high end products more than ordinary consumer market
scanners. Sigh.

This leaves us with "Buy and throw away" or "Spend $1,000 for a decent
model right away"...
