Not to be That Guy, but: does it work with Linux?

My ScanSnap S1500 works like a treat in Linux. I wrote my own scripts to scan, straighten, compress and put the documents into a databases. I should probably upload the scripts somewhere. They work better than anything else I found.

I don't own one, but I looked into buying one, several years ago. At that time, the less expensive, base version didn't have TWAIN support. There was a more expensive model that did.

Which leads to my question to the audience, here: What are the currently recommended models of SnapScan, and why?

As another poster mentioned, Canon makes similar scanners that support TWAIN priced in the ballpark of the Scansnaps. I bought a ScanSnap a few years ago and had to immediately return it as I needed TWAIN. The Canon Scantini has held up well.

My S1300 does but the results aren't as clean as with the Windows software.
