Regarding image quality only, which one generates better scans at 3000 px on the long side?

Straight out of the box, it's no contest.....the Pakon kills the V700. The V700's holders are horrible IMO. I'd grab a cheap WinXP laptop from eBay and get the Pakon. Not only is it cheaper, it's a far more enjoyable experience.

Not even fair ! Pakon destroys the V700 in all aspects, specially on the speed and color department !

I'm just concerned about image quality at 3000x2000 (pakon's highest).
I know the V700 is far more finicky to use, but my I might put up with the extra aggravation if the 3000 pixel wide scans from the v700 begin to approach the Pakon. The compromise would be worth it because I like to shoot slides and I like to shoot MF, which the F135 won't handle.

if you are shooting both 35mm and 120 then get the V700 first, then buy the Pakon afterwards for 35mm.
I use my V600 for 120 and the Xpan, for 35mm I use the Pakon because of the speed.

v700 on 35mm is really not very good.
I have a 4990, the one that came right before it. Its fine for 4x5 or 6x7 but I would honestly go through the inconvenience of wet printing and scanning the print rather than scan the 35mm negative directly.
