I would go for the S810D if you can find one. It has a 1.3 15 - 30 zoom, rather than 1.6 on the 807D, and the brighter 100W lamp, which illuminates a good large picture. Eumig manufactured 130,000 S807Ds from 1973 right through to 1978, and 140,000 S810Ds from 1973 to 1976.
If you can, try and get hold of an 824 Sonomatic. Only 41,000 were manufactured between 1977 and 1978, so they're not quite as easy to find. It is dual gauge Super 8/Standard 8, 100W lamp, superb sound with increased dynamic range, and came with a sharp Suprogon 1.2 12.5 - 25 zoom as standard. I have the 820 Sonomatic (Super 8 only) and it's a fantastic projector.
As Zechariah says, also keep an eye out for 'Lux' and 'HQS' on the S810Ds too.
