Which one should I buy? Or mayby Canon CanoScan 5000f?

The question is - what is the difference between Epson 2400 and 2480?
I know that 2480 can scan only 3 negatives at a time (2400 - 6 at the
time), but what else?
Is it the same hardware?

PS. I'm going to scan negatives/slides mostly, non-transp. materials
occasionally...

I'll never buy a 5000f again it's a heap of rubbish, scanning is fine but it
is unstable and crashs all the time using usb 2.0 so only usable on usb 1.1
and so is quite slow, Canon are useless with support
