Verdict: The Brother DS-640 is, in our opinion, the perfect solution for those that want/need high quality scans, but that don't tend to scan super long (10+ page) documents all that frequently...

Cons
  • SlowExpensive
  • Character recognition not perfectSlower than other high end modelsExpensive, text recognition not perfect, somewhat complicated installationRelatively slow
  • 10-page document feeder feels limiting
