Well an Epson 1670photo scanner can be picked up from staples on
clearance for $99, which is usb2.0 1600x3200dpi.  It uses the snapscan
backend in sane and is currently ranked as 'good' in support, while the
1660 and 1650 that preceeded are listed as 'complete' but use the epson
backend.  Unfortunately epson has recently started using other
manufacturers chipsets in their scanners rahter than their own which has
made linux support somewhat tricker (all the epson backend scanners used
essentially the same commandset.)
