Hi Alsi
I would say that there is effectively no difference between the 808 and the Cine 8.
Cine 8 has horizontal RGB bandwith to 120 mhz, 808 - 110 mhz
Cine 8 has vertical RGB bandwidth 37 - 210, 808 - 37 - 200
These differences are inconsequential IMO.
Barco may argue that you are getting a more recent model, with refined internal electronics and perhaps upgraded components.
And don't forget the Cine 8 is painted that cool silver colour!
I suspect that the differences are largely in the cosmetics and marketing of the projector.

Hello Asmirad
Also the software is different for more memories per input
And the lenses have colorfiltring on green and red

Most of the differences are indeed marketing based but there are a number of fundamental changes to the Cine 8 over the BG808s
The power supply is powerfactor corrected (it will autoselect 120/240 volts)
The R&G lenses are colour filtered.
The remote changes to RC5 from PPM format (Red led remotes won't work)
The bandwidth of the component input is increased.
RCE detection is incorporated.
Gold plated input connectors
It is painted that funky silver colour that is sctrached by flies landing on it.
Up until recently they used the same tube Sony 07MFP2. But there is a rumour that this will or has changed very recently

"Also, the Cine8 is Color Corrected and Color Filtered where the 808 is only Color Filtered."
The 808 and 808s has no color-filtering, but has color-corrected optics. The later versions of the Cine8 also add color-filtering.
