Minolta Film Scanner: How good/bad?

I've been using the Konica Minolta Dimage Scan Elite 5400 II (belongs to work) for about a year and its been very good and I've been happy with the scans. There are some caveats however:

1. I could not get it to work properly with Vuescan under Windows XP. The colours were always well off - kind of turquoise skies all the time.

2. Once i found the original Konica software it worked very well, but there are no drivers for Vista and never will be - Konica Milnolta are finished - you are time/land locked to Windows XP.

I bought a Minolta Dimage Scan Elite II this morning as it happens from Phototrader classifieds for $Au200. This is an earlier model with only 2800dpi but I'm hoping the scan quality will be okay.
