Haven't tried the BF-F8HP, I have 3 of their radios. Favorite is definitely the UV-82. I believe its considered commercial grade and feels better made with solid audio reports.

Having said that, I have no real complaints about the other models. Programming has been fine with them, just feel a bit like a home science project.
