I just went from 250 to 800. I found no difference in the homogeneous nature of the sound, but just about every aspect was greatly improved. Like others I noticed a slight change in the sibilance handling at 7.1.1, I wasn't sure it was worse, but it was different. I don't notice it on the 800. Imaging, dynamics, overall 'realistic' tone and sense of ease all greatly improved. I didn't notice too much difference in the 2 channels either, so maybe I'm not noticing any burn-in issues. FWIW.
