Well, the F8 is discontinued, so if you want to buy new (and not just NOS), you can only buy the F8n. The price appears to be what the F8 sold for new, when it was released (not marked down to clear inventory when they released the F8n). So, at this point, it appears to simply be a model replacement that does have the more flexible XLR/TRS inputs. The “deal” was perhaps buying an F8 when they cleared them out to introduce the F8n. But that was temporary and things appear to be back “normal” now from a pricing standpoint.
