The V600 photo scanner I purchase was to replace my old Epson Perfection 4490 photo scanner that I bought ten years ago, that just started to malfunction. I had such good experience with 4490, that I bought V600 to replace it. The designs are very similar, with suitable updates, but exactly the same size and foot print. They are so similar in size, that I slipped the old 4490 into the packaging material of V600, and sent it back to Epson for recycling (for free). I have not used the V600 much, but expect the same good expereince I had with 4490.
