OptoCom or BC780.?

Howdy,
I'm relatively new to the world of scanners and I've decided to purchase a new scanner. I currently own a RS PRO-2026. I like it (for the most part), but it could stand some improvement.
I've narrowed the choices down to two scanners...
The OptoCom looks great on paper and the reviews love it, but it does have a heavy price tag.
The BC780 looks great on paper as well,not too many reviews out yet, but i'm sure they'll be favorable.

I'm not sure how much is different (besides price) between the two.
Do the extra features of the OptoCom justify price difference?

Thanks for the help and happy scanning!
