PowerLook 1100, SilverFast, Whole Image  
 
PowerLook 1100, SilverFast (Highlight/Shadow Cast Mode + USM 100/5x5) PowerLook 1100, Binuscan (default USM setting)
Conclusion: Both scanning software packages produced comparable results, however, SilverFast has much much more manual adjustments (with live preview) than Binuscan. In short, you have a choice - autopilot mode (Binuscan) or manual adjustments (SilverFast). So, SilverFast suits more for color experts while Binuscan is very good for novices.
