I don’t know if you saw this topic but it has some other participants talking about scanners.
A few months ago, I had decided my Christmas present to myself was going to be a 3D Scanner. That was before all the bills were coming due to past transgressions (trips my wife has planned and repairs on my home).
Plus, I decided that I did not like the results of the $1000 scanners and am now thinking the range might need to be double. I am very interested in what conclusions you reach.
