I'm trying to decide between Epson's v330 (or 300) and v500 scanners. The v500 is clearly a higher spec scanner, but I don't think I need all the features. v300 goes for around £80. The v500 is £130.

However, I think the v500 may be able to scan more negative frames in one go than the v330 - I plan on scanning in all my old film so this may be a benefit. Can anyone advise if this is true?

Are there any other features it is worth spending an extra 50%+ on? I'm not a professional photographer. These are hold family and holiday snaps taken before I thought a great deal before releasing the shutter.
