The SDS8 has one more Tom channel, the SDS800 has the (in my oppionion boring) "second skin" Filter and the (also boring) "run genrator", a cold comfort for the missing channel. As a drummer I would miss the third tom, so my favourite (out of your choice of course): SDS8 is the lesser of the two eveils ;-)
If you are talking about complete packages containing brain AND pads: The SDS800 came with much better (Mark IV) pads
