An Alternative to Vistek is Henry's Cameras. A touch cheaper and they
have branches in several areas of the GTA. 

I bought the Epson 3200 from Henry's. It's a full page (letter or A4)
flat bed scanner with the transparency adapter built into the lid
(capable of upto 4in. x 9in.),  but it is not cheap (~$600).

I have not tried it in Linux yet since I just blew out my Red Hat
partition to install Debian and I haven't gotten X to work yet.
