New D3 series VS Sonus Faber

[greekgod]

I know that there was a previous poll that indicated over 90% of people on here prefered the Sonus Faber Stradivari over the Bowers D2 800 series. I am wondering if anyone here feels that the new D3 series is enough of an improvement to now compete with the Stradivari or Guarneri soundwise?

I went from 802d2 to SF Stradivari (I started that poll).

Then I sold the strads and went to 802d3.

The thing I recall is that Strads gave a more homonogenous sound while the 802d3 is a little more precise interms of placing the soundstage.

Also my room was too small for the strads which might have been a problem.
