We also have an Olympus VS120 in the facility and we are pretty happy. But I also second the concerns regarding post acquisition processing of the images.
In order to help out users we have developed an ImageJ/Fiji Makro collection for viewing and analyzing the images.

Feel free to download it. And hopefully you would find it useful. We are happy to receive comments/suggestions.

We have an Olympus VS120 in one of our facilities.  It works fairly well, but the post-acquisition software, OlyVIA, is pretty horrible.  We've had trouble just using it for simple things like annotation.  If you can get the files into ImageJ or other preferred analysis software it would be a very good system for acquisition.

Very helpful!  Thanks for letting me know about this.  I've forwarded it to
the keeper of our Olympus slide scanner for him to try out.  It will be
very nice to have something to properly manipulate the images.
