I want some kind of color calibration and the Silverfast and other companies IT8 Targets are just silly expensive ($150-$300 for both the reflective and transparent targets). Every IT8 target has an associated data file that describes the exact color of each square in the target. That does not seem worth an extra $250 though. It should be described in the specification of your target.

The V850 is reported to be faster, but from what I've read that's the difference in the upgraded software. Choose the film type you are scanning and go from there. Negafix in Silverfast is the correction for negative film and is specific to type also.
If you don't shoot slide film, then you don't need it. The main different looks to be that the V850 comes with an additional set of film holders, an upgrade to Silverfast SE Plus 8, and the X-Rite i1Scanner software with IT8 targets this costs $250 more.
