    I've just been through this and went for the 800. I couldn't see much in the way of useful extra features in the 810 to justify the additional cost. Have a look at the review by dcrainmaker.
    More problems but still living....

    Thanks. Will do
    Where did you end up buying the 800?

    Handtec?

    Thanks will try them
    Still drawn to the new model but the extra 100 avg is hard to justify
