looking for VueScan (aka ImageScan!)

I'm looking for a new scanner (my Astra 1200S no longer seems to work now that I'm using a power supply that doesn't appear to be the one it came with). I've heard good things about ImageScan, but they don't have it available anymore and it's not clear when they might.

Does anyone have a copy of this program I can have? And do you know what scanners it supports that are currently available off the shelf? Does anyone have any recommendations for off the shelf scanners (re: ones you can actually buy today at the local Best Buy or Frys) that work with SANE?

VueScan is here:

The cost is USD$40. The interface is nice for some purposes, but for most of my work, I find the command-line "scanimage" works just as well. Still, $40 is cheap enough that I don't feel too bad about having bought it.
