The Fujitsu fi-5120C (at USD $850) looks like the stronger candidate at
this point.

For the purposes of determining US availability, can anyone verify that
the Kodak i40 (at USD $866) is identical hardware to the AV220C2: 35ppm in
Simplex or 70 ipm in True Duplex, and per m. allan noah's anecdote, works
well with the avision backend, possibly still subject to initialization
timeout issues.
