The Canon scan shows the presence of dye clouds (the equivalent of grain), while they are invisible in the Epson scan. The Canon shows far more detail in the shadows. In the Epson, the light areas are blown out, while the Canon has retained detail and color.
Wow - I predict a flood of Epsons on the market. I recently got fed up with my Epson 4870 and bought a used Howtek. It hasn't arrived yet, but if I had seen those results before I think I would have just bought the Canon. Have you done any scans of dense areas to see if its noise is better than the Epson?
the more I've looked at the online info now, I'm guessing the transparency area isn't big enough for 8x10?

Tim, tell me how big a 8x10 is and I'll test that size. It will scan 7x9 but I'm not sure about 7.5x9.5. The lamp is 7.5 inches (it moves).
I sent a better 3200 image to yh Kil for posting. The scan has a quick manual tweak to prevent the clipping apparent in the first image.
As far as the visible dye clouds, this is velvia 100f pushed 1 stop so we would expect it to be more pronounced. I find 100f pushes 1 stop nicely. With old velvia I would usually switch to provia for push processing.

I just came back from the Photo Expo in New York and did take a look at the new Canon Scanner. The rep there assured me that it would scan an 8x10 negative or slide - the scanning area looked just big enough to do so. What they showed was absolutely amazing. The detail in these scans is unbelievable.
