Question about Meridian 808

Anybody else with new experience for sound difference between 808 and 808.2? I start to feel "under pressure" to take my decision whether to upgrade 808 to 808.2 because I am afraid 808 will be hard to sell for reasonable price once the 808.2 really catch the market... Right now, I can still get almost half of 808.2 price for my "old" 808, which is crazy considering that I bought 808 one year ago, but better than to get for it even less later on...

I just got my 808i.2 last week.
Serial Number is 808-200379 - Black.
I did not own the 808, so I cannot comment, but this new 808i.2 is a 'cracker of a cd player'
I have been trying to get some reviews, but nothing seems to have been written about it as yet.
Hence, I shall have to wait and see if what I 'hear' is on the same lines as what 'others' also hear ?

I apologize for posting a new thread seeking to comparison of the 808 with the 808.2. I had somehow missed this thread in a prior search on the subject.

Thanks to Walkingman for his reply. I do hope some other people who have compared the two units will notice one or the other thread and chime in.
