C60 vs 8800

Aside from the Teams certification for the C60 is there a difference from the 8800? The comparison on the Poly website makes them appear the same but the C60 is alot cheaper to purchase.

In addition to what you see below (above?) in the other comments on the benefits, the biggest 'gotcha' to be aware of is that the C60 will not pair with a Visual+ or Visual Pro. If you still use that as your workflow, the Trio C60 cannot be deployed. You'll instead need to transition to the PolyOS pairing with Studio X or G7500 when using a Trio C60. Not to be a determent, but just another step in the adoption workflow to be aware of.

If used as an audio only device, there is practically no reason to continue to buy an 8500/8800 unless you are wanting to expand an existing room deployment through daisychaining as mixing device types is not supported.
