There are numerous desktop scanner manufacturers. Most of their top-of-the-line products offer bit-depths and resolutions far in excess of what is needed in the CAD world. Unless you'll be sharing the scanner with graphics designers who need 32-bit color at 1,200 dpi, you can save money by buying lower-end models.
