REL Carbon Special Vs S/812

Hi folks....i was trying to see if anyone has experience with the  REL Carbon Specials and S/812.

Both are 12", the limited edition carbon is 1000 watts vs 800 watts on the S/812. The price difference however is a large diff +$1100. I mean is the difference with the Carbon specials so much that it is better to get it compared to the S/812?  The carbon's only come in black vs black/white options for the S/812.

In terms of bass speed is there any difference among them ? Or is it just that carbon is +200Watts more than S/812.

I'm interested to know as well. The REL Carbon Special costs $4,399 each so I would expect owners to have some serious sounding kit.

Having owned both, Carbon specials are much better than 812s. I cannot say it is because of amp or driver- but definitely fast and more oomph. It has more volume (than 812) as well. It is a tougher call between Carbon special and 212SX...

I went for Carbon Special, its integrating well with my gear. I also acquired a JL Audio CR-1 crossover, and i am able to get the bass as i perfectly want.
