I'm OP, and I agree with what you've said, now that I finally understand
it. Now, the remaining question is, what is the preferred profile to
change to?

Considering that there will certainly be improvements in the gamut
capabilities of display devices in the future, I'm thinking that sRGB is
probably too constraining. How about ProPhoto?


First, what matters is the content of your images, not necessarily
what colorspace they are in. Even though the scanners color space may
be larger than sRGB or AdobeRGB, what matters is the actual colors
contained. Can iPhoto show out of gamut colors? You could then see
what colors are contained/maintained in a given color space. You also
haven't mentioned what format you are saving in. A wider color space
may bring about issues given the wider space must fit into a given
amount of storage bits and hence there may be less graduations of a
given color available.
