dm800se vs sf8 hd / max digital 1000

[trance]

Hi, all
ok, ive played about with a few dm800se boxes, but never got my hands on a sf8 hd/ max digital 1000.
Those of you, who have the box or both boxes. What is your view? Which is better?
I like vix images, hence my interest in the sf8/max digital 1000. Dm800se I normally flash with open pli.
Also how do the specs match up.
Thanks

If your happy with the Vix image then get one of the Original's if you want more support then the DM800se

Is it fast and responsive like a dm800se or slow and sluggish like a dm800hd ?
also, what is the difference between the sf8 hd octagon and the max digital 1000. I thought they one and the same
