From the PC Mag review of the V800: "The improvements are incremental—like the change to an LED light source to essentially eliminate warm-up time—but they translate to faster, still-higher-quality scans. The difference in scan quality isn't a lot, mostly because the Epson V700 is already so good, but it's enough to be noticeable."

That is worth the $150 additional money!
