Yes, please!
I am also curious about what you may find that is a) flatbed, b) good + cost-competitive, and c) macOS supported without having to use VueScan or some garbage proprietary software. I also have no need for a printer-scanner combo; you'd think standalone scanners wouldn't be so hard to pick out.
I have a few 30+-year-old photo albums that are overdue for digital conversion/archival. I had been using an ancient CanoScan LIDE flatbed, but its motor is starting to give up and there are a few places in the scanning process where it consistently produces row-doubling artifacts. It also relies on an old 32-bit version of VueScan that won't work in the upcoming 64-bit-only world of macOS.
