Fran, these are the Consumer Reports Quick Recommendations - best for the price. I don't know if this helps.

"For the fastest scans:
1 Epson $150
2 HP $200

These two models were the fastest of the scanners we tested, and they produced high-quality scans of photos and text. The HP was better at scanning film and slides. It’s the only tested scanner that can accommodate transparent originals larger than 35mm—up to 8x10 inches, in this case. It also has a wide range of settings that let you optimize each scan, though you can get fine results from its default settings if you don’t want to fine-tune the settings. The Epson is a top choice for use with photos and text, but stick with the HP for scanning film or slides."

When you review the entire list of the scanners CR tested, the model you listed did not make the list.
