Rob,

Difficult to tell from the file sizes stipulated. It would be a lot more helpful if the vendor stated what resolution the map has been scanned at. I tend to scan at 1200 dpi, giving a file size for an A4 area of c. 60 to 80 MB (depending on levels of detail in the survey). I estimate that would give a file size for all six sheets of a whopping 2.8 GB. However, I'm sure scans at 800 dpi would suffice.
At R425 I would say it's probably worth a go.
