While the announced changes are nice, IMHO, they certainly aren’t significant enough to “upgrade” if you already have an F8 (I do). And I personally don’t view them as worth an extra $200 over the standard F8. I have managed to live just fine with the limitations of the combo jacks. Yeah, better limiters would be quite nice (the best of the added features I think), but most of us know how to deal with setting gain - been doing it for years without using limiters. Maybe there are more new features that haven’t been announced.
