Thanks a lot for all the detailed feedback! I ended up going for the 4K arri scan, in DPX. Also just out of curiosity. For editing I have pro res 422 proxies. In the grading suite I am going to use the dpx. I am not in post yet, and haven't seen it in the grading suite, but it looks really promising as far as I can tell.

Dear fellow cinematographers, As a cinematographer living in Amsterdam we have two labs close by. One of them is scanning with Arri Scan XT DPX files in 2 or 4K, the other one is Scanning with the Lasergraphic Scanstation 6.5K in 4K in pro res 444 or DPX. I am scanning 16mm 250D, so also not sure if 4K is needed. I would value color accuracy above resolution. Also, is DPX worth it above pro res 444? The lab with the Arriscan is like 1.3x more expensive. What to chose? This comparison is probably already made somewhere on this website, but was not sure if info wat up to date etc. What do you think or recommend? Thank you! Abel
