The most glaring difference that I know of offhand is the the 50 series engine was intercooled . The 8650 had the 30 and 40 beat IMHO because the stacks were off to the side instead of through the hood which made for easier operation. other than that i don't recall the 50 series being any more reliable than it's older siblings.
There are a lot of horror stories about these 3 series of tractors and they are mostly deserved. If it were me, I'd seriously consider spending the extra coin to get into a 60 or 70 series, they seem less prone to weird breakages when comparable hours are considered.
