As a keen viewer and infrequent poster to the forum I am always amazed at how tension builds so easily... anyway to stick to the point...
Have just upgraded my simple setup from 7.1.1 to 8.1 and I would be lying if I said that after the 5 minutes or so it takes me to swap firmware versions I can tell a difference so as far as I am concerned 8.1.0 gets the thumbs up!
As an ex Software Development Manager I also appreciate the fact that at last Devialet have issued an up to date, concise manual that saves you having to gleam bits of information scattered across their web site / forums etc.
Only thing missing now as far as I am concerned is a published list of known errors in the software. It takes a confident and mature company to do this as the danger is that people will think the software is riddled with bugs but my experience is that the user base is happier since they are not constantly wandering if anybody else is experiencing the problem and it actually would save work for Devialet as they potentially wouldn't get the same bugs logged over and over again.
Regards
