Scanning Microfiche

I think it's time to revisit the ever popular topic of scanning Microfiche. I'm in the market for a new scanner, and ran across the "Epson Perfection 3200 Photo" scanner. I was looking at it, because it's one of a very few Firewire scanners on the market. What really got me to thinking though, is the fact that it is a 3200x6400dpi scanner, and has a 4"x9" transparency adapter. This has me wondering if it wouldn't work for scanning Microfiche.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the subject?
