[wplug] scanner+document feeder suggestions

[John Harrold]

we currently have one of those all in one scanner, printer, fax, etc.
things from hp (officejet r80xi). its plugged into a windows machine and
the document feeder now pulls in several pages at once. we're going to buy
a new one, so i first checked out the stuff supported by sane:

http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-mfgs.html

there is a whole lot of stuff there and i was hoping to narrow down my
choices by picking the brains of people here. 

has anyone had any expirences recently (good or bad) with scanners under
linux which use document feeders?  we need to scan straight to pdf, mostly
course notes. and we want something that is reliable and not too costly.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
