The extra $1000 gives me considerably better scans from slides. With negatives, the HP was perfectly fine. Also, given that your goal is the Web and not prints, your requirements are not so stringent. So you should be fine with either of the two models you are considering for negatives. Kodachrome can be a real test for a scanner. The Nikon ICE feature does not work with it (or with B&W negatives for that matter). The best thing to do is to take a Kodachrome slide to the store and try it on both scanners, if you have that possibility.
