Rowland classic comparision: Model 8 vs. 12's

I've owned the Model's 1,10 and 501. the 501 is the better of the 3 in every respect.

Conventional wisdom various owners that I know (incl. myself) is that the 10 and 12 kick butt over the 201/501 series in a big way. the 8/9 series was pretty well regarded, on par with the 10/12 at least I'd think. 8's with the BPS would be pretty righteous, but a lot bigger and more power hungry than a pair of 12s. I have a 10, which I prefer to the 201/501 series.

I have reviewed the 302, 8TiHC and owned the original 8. In retrospect, I prefered the 8TiHC and still miss it to this day. The 12's did not do it for me.
