Martin,

I know and this time I even believe that the V750-M is 
different to the V700 on that aspect (and not just marketing 
hype). The better light reflection of the mirrors is however 
only translated in faster scanning speed, they claim more 
light gets through so the stepper motor can run faster. The 
less color fringing with the CCD lens coating may be the main 
quality difference. At least I guess that color fringing is 
what they see reduced. To test the differences between the 
V700 and the V750 may require very good testing methods, film 
in glassless carriers might be too inconsistent for the 
differences in hardware.

There's also more software aboard the V750-M but I have most 
of that already in alternative packages. Nevertheless I will 
order the V750-M. Price at 809 Euro is too much though if 
compared to the US package at 800$ that contains more (wet 
mount carrier included).

Rafe has added new snippets to his scanner pages:

Epson V700 v. Epson 4990 v. Nikon LS-8000 (Same Negative)

About 2/3 of the way down the page.
