How much do you want to spend?
You can get an Epson 3170 refurb for like $70 right now. Add Vuescan for $80, then Doug Fisher's holder for $40. With proper development of B&W, you can get scans that'll let you go to at least 11x11 or bigger, I think.
Of course, you can spend a lot more on the Nikon 9000, too.

Can the new Epson V750 handle 4X5?

Never mind. I found it. Yes it does.

Bumping all mentions of the Epsons from 4870 on up to the new 700-750 series. I own both a NIKON 8000 and the 4870 and found suprisingly narrow quality margins between them. The new Epson 700-750 series promises to be even better.

You will be far happier with a dedicated film scanner than a flatbed. If you do get a flat bed the microtek's that utilize a the glassless film drawer are generally the best way to go.

The Polaroid SprintScan 120 and the Microtek 120 are the exact same hardware with the Microtek having an updated Firmware EEPROM. This is a great scanner, particularly with the Silverfast software. I have used one for the past 5 years and the scan quality is amazing. 35mm to 6x9 at a true 4000 optical dpi. If you are patient and have the time, you might luck upon one of th Polaroids on eBay at close to or slightly cheaper than the new epson flat beds which are not quite in the same league image quality wise.
