The MS-10 is great for testing all kinds of E-drums since the LFO
outputs both positive and negative voltages. I remember my
Electro-Harmonix Crash Pad had a problem since it only accepted negative
trigger (before mod).

Sounds like a very good start!

Without aiming at being a snobb I can mention I've owned three SDS-8's
during the years and ended up selling all of these. These scaled down
drum synths with the legendary "piouw-sound" isn't something I need. I
have other gear that serves me better.
_But_ I think that if your 800 is working like it should I see no need
to "upgrade" to a SDS-8. If you get along well, search for a SDS-V
instead or maybe SDS-7 if you find a working unit locally (since they're
not really built for shipping). We hardcore nerds hail the SDS-3 a lot
too. 8-)

Cool! :)
