It's way more rugged built than the X700, and quieter.
I don't mind having to manually activate or deactivate the Dolby Vision protocol; I'm not that lazy. Both the 800M2 and the earlier X700 possessed and granted access to Dolby Vision in the same way. However, what I like the most about the X800M2 over the X700 is that the unit, being a way heavier and solid unit, runs quieter. If you have your equipment isolated in a soundproofed cabinet or off-site equipment closet, this may not be a problem, but if like my set up, the UHD Blu Ray player is right under the screen, when a 4K Blu Ray movie revs up you can hear the motor spinning furiously on the Sony X700. It's way quieter on the X800M2, nowhere near as distracting during quiet moments during a movie.
