Because 808 > Blackouts. Especially with the 18v mod. I actually bought a used set of BOs to try because of the hype, and put the 808s back in. I eventually got an 808x set, but in hindsight it wasn't necessary.
Wow! I think I will give them another shot then. Another member said to switch back and forth to see which I like better. At first, I was sure I wouldn't like the 808 and after putting in the Blackout Bridge, I thought the Blackout was superb. Maybe it was psychosomatic after seeing all of the negative reviews on EMG here, but if you say you've had both and much prefer the 808, I will give it another chance. Would you say you like the 808 more than the Blackout as it is or because of the 18v mod? Thank you!
