I seriously thought about the 850/S70 when I got my 9000. IMHO, the pluses of the 9000 are better build, greater practicality, and better ride. If you must have an automatic, I'd go for the Volvo. One thing that is a repeated failure on those Volvos is the AC condenser - $400 part and a days labor to change. It's annoying, because they only seem to last about 3-4 years. Obviously, the 9000 has some annoying weaknesses too, like the heater core and DI, but they aren't quite as expensive. With either one, condition and maintenance are key with a specialized car that's 10 years old and likely with 100,000 miles. Try brickboard or turbobricks for websites with good Volvo info. I guess knowing the 9000 well as you do from two CSEs is a plus, though you could also take it as time for something different.
