One of the slides was taken at the home of a friend, who happens to be a librarian, and not surprisingly, a fair amount of printed material was in the picture. I could find no detail in the slide that was not also in the scan. Based on that experiment, I really doubt if your 14mb scans are a problem; even at that level, they probably contain more detail than the slides actually have.

Welcome to the forum. Haven't been in South Bend since 2000.
Perhaps my files will be adequate, after all. So far I've only practiced on a few family pictures, which look quite good, but with several thousand 35mm and 6x7 slides of serious work to go, I want to get it right and figured the larger the file, the more information I'd have to work with in PS. The less time I have to spend post processing, the better.
Much obliged for your comment. :)
