One of the things I'm inspecting carefully is colour depth. I've got a
slide of a red geranium (on Velvia....) that I cannot get a decent scan of
with the Craposcan. It looks indescribably dull and if I try to boost the
saturation, the image just goes a sort of wierd fluorescent hue before it
gets anywhere near the correct colour. This is going to be my test slide
for whatever I get.

I wouldn't test any scanner with a slide like that. Velvia is one of the
most saturated films you can shoot, and any scanner is going to have a tough
time with extremely-saturated colors like that. I'd recommend a more
neutral film, like Provia or even Astia (since we're already talking Fuji
here), and try shooting a range of subjects with a range of colors and
saturations.
