Those two scanners a sold under the brand of "Reflecta" in germany. There is a scanner shop, which tested those two thoroughly.
I am a bit confused about the 7200 of the PrimeFilm, as the latest version sold here has 10 MP. Ausführliche Scanner-Testberichte über Filmscanner Diascanner: Scanner-Vergleich, Marktübersicht Scanner
Test results in (very) short.
The XAs super has a been tested with an effective solution of 4300 dpi. Which is the best of the available 35 mm scanners.
Speed is ok. And it is strongly recommended to use Silverfast Software.
The Prime Film 7200 has a tested resolution of 3250 dpi. It is strongly recommended to use Silverfast Software.
Both are quite capable scanners. The main differences are:
1. the XAs super is mainly for scanning film rolls (or ffilm strips) or single framed slides, while the prime film has holders for 6 negatives or 5 slides.
2. The XAs can batch scan, while the prime film can not.
Both scanner will probably give you better images, then the macro equipment solution. But I think the advantage in speed of the later makes up for the IQ of the film scanners.
Luckyly I have no time to digitize my slides, so I do not have to decide which method tu use.
