Some of us might want a higher resolution than that - and to have the scan file as a 16-bit TIFF so that we can manipulate it without artifacts.
Indeed, I'm sure many do. Certainly my approach doesn't get anywhere near ultimate quality, but it's probably better than a disposable. However, the OP seemed to have cost (both equipment and ongoing) and convenience as fairly high priorities.
I realise that some labs do offer 16-bit TIFF scans at much higher resolutions, but they do charge rather more than a fiver for the service. And the equipment cost, not to mention time required, to do it oneself, is not trivial.
