I have no experience of using any scanner for film but my two pence nonetheless...
Flatbeds are supposed to be fiddly/a pain in the arse. If you were shooting rolls and rolls of film every week or had a massive backlog to deal with then, unless you really hate yourself, I wouldn't do it. But you're just starting out. You'll also only be shooting black and white so you'll be honing your workflow for a small range of films instead of experimenting with everything the film world has to offer. Presumably so anyway. In any case, I'd read more reviews to make sure. If I had the money now I'd buy it. But I have other things I need to spend money on right now. I also need to shoot more film. Haha.
