My thoughts is that it no pays (for me) expend too much money in a scanner, V700 could be a good option to improve my actual quality and I can use for 35mm and medium format, I'm sure that Nikon 9000 is much better, but now is quite expensive and I always think that today is not for me a good decision purchase a discontinued scanner.
