You know, you could consider making or getting a nice print made of your

that nicely. That way, you have the print which you can mount and display,
and you can show it on the web or whatever, and you don't have to spend
$1000 on a peripheral that is quickly superceded by better models.

A print has less dynamic range by far than either a
negative or a chrome. Information (tonal range) will
be lost making the print.

Working from the original is always better.
