You can buy the Postscript option for your 800 for around $100. The 850 is just a newer model. I am not sure what other improvements there are to the 800. It is a fast printer and the dpi is the same. I also have the ethernet card in mine so I can share it on my internal network. Epson really is doing a good job.
