Tim,

I agree with your comparison.

I have a SB3 and a Mac-Mini, I rip the music to the Mac and play the music through the SB3 (for back ground music). I mainly use the SB3 for Pandora.com and internet radio.

The 800 V4 wins hands down on every other front end I`ve compared it with.

There is a separate thread on this subject.

Mike.
