Anyone using epson 4990 photo & avasys driver? Experienc

I think about purchasing a "Scanner Epson Perfection 4990 Photo" flatbet scanner, to scan this and that - and to scan photos, dias, negatives.

So, bevore waisting my money, I would ask you if anyhone can tell me about how this thing works in archlinux, how the driver (http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html) and software behaves. Any experiences?

Furthermore, if anyone uses a different scanner for this jobs, please tell me about it.
