I heard the same recommendation, got an old Epson Photo 2450
(supposedly supported by SANE) from ebay and it did not work at all
with Linux.  My bug report is here: http://tinyurl.com/bpgvr It seems
to me that one has to have a certain amount of luck to get Linux and
Scanners working together reliably. :(

On the other hand, I got excellent results with the trial version of
the commercial software vuescan for Linux.  I haven't decided yet on
purchasing the full version (it's almost as expensive as the scanner),
but it might be the way to go.
