I've tried a recent version of Sente, and it does a really nice job of streamlining the process of importing PDFs into bib entries, but it's still a manual, one-by-one process. I was very happy to get through about 50 unsorted papers in, I'd say, a quarter hour. For my needs that may be sufficient.

Have you found anything able to digest your 80K papers?

Yes. Papers + a personal assistant.
