FWIW most colour glossy magazines print at 1200 dpi, so there is no point going higher if scanning a positive. The difference between 600 and 1200 is not that much in real life, and results in a file 25% of the size.

A really good quality gloss photo print from a pro-quality slow film is probably about 4000 dpi.
