Hey,
I think synthetic is the best idea in an 850 regardless of milage.
You may get a milky appearance to you synth after changing over from regular oil due the detergent in the new oil reacting to the old - no big deal.
Going back to regular oil wont hurt but for a few bucks extra I'd stay with synthetic. Just don't add any valve treatments since they tend to thin your oil.
