Ben,

The V500 is even lower priced than the V600 and will scan 6x12 cm film.

I am not familiar with their qualities compared to the V700, I think 
they use LED lighting instead of the CCFLs of the V700/750. Check 
reports like:
http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/interactive/Epson%20V650/page-1.html
but read the comments on tests like that in the forum there too. An 
advice based on an earlier experience with the V700/750 test there.
