I've been using my friend's LIDE 220 and it has a particular problem. One part of the LED arm is now grinding against the glass, so it is getting noisier, and there's a scratch getting more visible every time (started as hairline). I suspect this is has to to do with years of pressing down the lid during scanning.
In any case, I will be buying a new one, just because the quality is so good. I'm just trying to decide between the 300 and 400 models.
Just how loud is the 400? Is it much louder than the 220? I work in libraries so this is a concern.
Also, I'm scanning magazines for a research project, but my default (both for space and speed) is just 300 dpi/color. How fast does the 400 feel next to the 220?
Lastly: is the stand useful in any way? It doesn't seem practical at all!
