Since I will be scanning several rolls of film shortly, I decided to see if 
Vuescan now works better with my Epson V700 than it did last time I tried it 
(which was not very well, about 2 years ago).

So I dug out my Hama test negative and scanned it with Vuescan and with 
Epson Scan, at the same resolution, no sharpening applied etc. to make is as 
comparable as possible:

It seems to me that the Vuescan version is slightly sharper, or am I 
hallucinating?

Otherwise, the Vuescan software now works fine with the Epson 700 (on OSX 
10.6). It is less convenient than Epson Scan but if the quality is better 
than I am prepared to put up with it.
