I've got good results with the similar LS-20. The key point
to get exactly the same exposure settings for the two scans
of my Horizon's images was to use Nikon's own software not
Silverfast! The later may have many advantages but I didn't
manage to disable all the contra-productive build-in
'intelligence' ...

I doubt that you will get the same quality from an average
flatbed scanner, especially if your target is the print
medium.
