Have you checked out the RF-900? I've owned both the 800 and the 900. 
The three big improvements over the RF-800:
1) It has an additional vent at the top back. When I first tried it I 
was ecstatic with the air moving around my bean.
2) The vent control at the bottom is easier operate (up is open, down is 
closed, and it's easy to switch with my winter gloves on; with the 800 I 
could never remember if open was left or right and I would have to stop 
to switch it.
3) It comes (or came) in a shade of blue close enough to Sapphire Blue 
that I've had people ask if it was a custom lid.
