I would advise prospective buyers of this and any other digitization technology to take claims for device performance (resolution, throughput, etc.) as "marketing claims" to be verified by one or more objective measures that cam be directly compared against other systems.
This is what we as consumers do when we compare automobile milage claims. The publishers of Consumer Reports perform this service for myriad other consumer goods, so it is not as if the idea is not a commonplace one.
It is disappointing that the imaging system manufacturers do not take this step on their own.
