um to me i prefer the layout of working with the unit, more easier to get accustomed too. i also heard they have a better i pod control with the fullspeed but not really a big difference over the 880's. but i do like the look, button layout, and it has a very nice sound list of features just like the 880 prs. imo each has there own pros and cons. it comparing apples to oranges. however im in the mood for something new. and i loved my old 9847 which is crap compared to either 880 prs and 9887.
Mike-
let me know if u intrested.
