Commercial Scanner Recommendation

I am a Navision Developer (Pacal-like integrated development environment owned by Microsoft). I am going to implement a low-volume document imaging project that integrates with our business information system. We will be scanning 50 documents a day and 30% of those will be updates to existing documents that are over-writing existing scans. I am shopping for a commercial scanner with an ISIS interface. I've looked at the HP 8290 and the Fujitsu fi 4220C and Fujitsu i80. I know that I may have to purchase middle-ware if I can't get one of these to work directly from my application, but right now I am interested in the best choice in hardware. Does anyone have experience with this level of scanner, ie:( $1,500 - $3,000)?

Thanks

I keep hearing good things about the Fujitsu fi-4120C so I guess the 4220C is probably good as well. The difference is that the 4220 also has the flatbed, the 4120 has only the ADF option (you need to feed your documents via the ADF), but is quite a bit cheaper (about $800):

When you say you need to scan 50 documents per day, what average size are we talking about?

BTW: You get Adobe Acrobat 6 Standard with these Fujitsu scanners. This is a $250 to $300 value.
