Lluis,

Two years ago I took a couple of negatives, one color, one B&W, into West 
Photo in Minneapolis and scanned them on their Nikon Coolscan 5000 and then 
on their Epson V700.   I took all the files home with me on a flash drive 
and loaded them into Photoshop CS2 on my computer.   I enlarged them all, 
gave them all the same degree of sharpening, contrast, and saturation.   I 
then printed them al and compared them.   I couldn't see any actual 
difference between them.    I bought the V700.
