As a user of both a flatbed (Epson v750) and film scanner (Nikon CS 9000), I am well aware of what the process of scanning implies for the final print quality, especially when it comes to making 11x14 prints from a 35mm neg. Here's a link to an interesting, informative, and ANIMATED discussion about the scanning issue. I do not want to make any judgements myself, just look and take the conclusions according to your specific desires and requirements:
