But does the DW8000 give you the same feel as a Poly 8? Or does it feel like a completely different animal?

One or two LFO's with only a few ways to modulate.The waveform generation of the DW-8000 - although better than the Poly - still doesn't give you much control over phase. PWM - true independent detuning and true independent modulation of all oscillators - all missing. The MIDI implementation is a lot better than Poly but still quirky enough to make it painful. The arpeggiator is standard fare without anything special. Though I do like the DW-8000, and 300 Euro's is pretty good for an EX-8000.

Hmm, that's kind of got me thinking. I don't suppose you've got wave ROM dumps for the DW8000, do you?
