Okay, thanks for your opinion.

Right.  I'm concerned about it passing interlaced input through without
doing a progressive conversion in between.  Here are the input specs for
the Scan Do Select, which looks like the modern incarnation of the Scan
Do 1024:

      * Sync frequency range: 31-71 kHz
        (320x200 to 1280x1024 @60 Hz), analog RGB, non-interlaced
        resolutions  
      * Input impedance: RGB - 75 ohms
        Sync-high impedance  
      * Input Sync types supported: Separate H&V, composite sync (with
        or without serration), Sync-on-green

I don't like the look of the phrase "non-interlaced resolutions".  That
makes me wonder if it even accepts interlaced input.  I just sent an
email to Communications Specialties to find out.
