8v's are more reliable and they have more tuning potential and are torquier across the rev range. THAT IS FACT!  :-*  ;)

8v ares cheaper to tune up to 16v spec, but beyond that you are looking at big bucks.
More reliable? not really, both units are very reliable.
More torquier across the rev range? if that was true then the 8v would infact produce more bhp as well  ;)
