Kinetta Archival recently rescanned film for a theatrical documentary that had been originally done at Spectra, and the filmmakers were quite astounded at the difference.  (I haven’t yet seen the Spectra version, so I am only repeating what they told me.)  

There’s a big difference between HD telecine and 3,3K scanning, about 5x more resolution.  But it depends what your needs are, and how large the image will be projected.

Note that some places offering HD telecine actually are doing SD telecine and uprezzing it to HD — not an ideal way to go.
