I use a Nikon 9000 for all my scanning, and I am satisfied with it.
. But regarding the films, negative film is far more forgivable than the positive. Actually with (today's) scanning, the gap might be much narrower.
I am scanning with a Nikon SuperCoolscan 9000ED.
I aim to scan once, at max resolution, and archive. Then I resize if/as needed for specific purposes.
Marco I never developed the skill to be able to photograph Medium Format film the way you do here. I am rather taken by this 6×7 photograph.I realised the 67 Ektachrome scan came out a little dark... so I lightened it slightly to better reflect what the original transparency looks like on a bright light table.
Also, I am now posting full resolution 4000ppi scans for both, to better appreciate the IMHO significant improvement in technical quality that the larger format gives:

Not to everyone’s taste I know, but I preferred the original (dark) Ektachrome . Have you tried using a IT8 target ? That way (in theory) you get as close as possible to the original slide and don’t need to edit (this is to me one of the big advantages of slide film, I can do a perfect scan without messing about in Lightroom or Photoshop).

Photography after all is interplay of light alongside perspective.
That's my strategy too. Always scan with the best (real) quality the scanner can achieve.
