I also considered that. Acer 620S seem to be pretty cheap, but it
looks like they are discontinued.
I just bought a Microtek Scanmaker X6 (the model is labeled "for
Macs", but it works with PCs as well), and it worked with sane out of
the box. I paid $160 canadian (a little over $100US).
I have had it for only a couple of days, so I can's say much more.
