Don, Your idea is a pretty good one. Once scanned you have a lot of flexibility with regard to making a print. As an example, you can use the scan to fiddle with cropping and balance but still have the print made from the neg. Or you can have the print made from the results of your scanning. And you can also buy an enlarger and do the darkroom work. I like the idea of scanning to make "proofs" for determining cropping and other adjustments, and then going into the darkroom to make a final print or having the lab make a print from the color stuff. It's a good workflow.
Using a light box and a good loupe doesn't allow any adjustments to be made, but it's always a first step regardless.
