I've been using the Z800 for quite a while now and just ordered a Z820 (not supported yet). The Z800 has been rock solid and lightning fast compared to the older systems. A trick I picked up from Greg Huson's testing is to invest in an SSD drive. The speed pickup in restarts, etc. is worth the extra bucks.
Versus the Symphony Mac? Much more stable on PC. MUCH!
