I cannot comment on the pricing. I have long forgotten the purchase price ...
But: I have owned the Epson Perfection V850 scanner for years. It is an excellent device in every respect and I use it almost daily. Of course, the purchase price is also a criterion for me. But the quality and durability of the product seem much more important to me.

price calculations at digitec are not a customer matter. therefore, no suitable answer to this question. what remains: the scanner is excellent and, in the worst case, more than worth the higher price!
