Shawn:
I have a Canoscan 4000 and purchased Vuecan (the Pro edition). IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT. It gives you upgrades for life and has many, many features that I'm still learning. The biggest Pro for me was that the Canon App (it was a PS plug-in) was very slow and limiting. The Vuescan SW gives better color (you can enter your own ICC profile for the scanner with the correct target), is faster and in general has a better workflow for me. Most people who are serious about getting the most out of their scanner use it. It has a devoted following. The only downside is that Ed Hamrick releases new versions quite frequently and I think that regression issue are just part of the game. He is very fast however at fixiing issues. As I said, the color is true and thats what I care about most.
I give it two thumbs up. It'll just be a matter of a few weeks (I bet) before the 5400 is fully supported.
Hope this helps.
