Arris Surfboard CM8200/ SB8200 vs Motorola MB8600

Can anyone confirm that the CM8200 and SB8200 are identical with the exception of the CM beeing the carrier version and the SB the retail version? And is there any reason to consider the Motorola Zoom MB8600 oer the CM8200/ SB 8200? Both are using the Broadcom   BCM3390 chipset and not an Intel’s Puma 6 or 7 with the latency bug.

Planning to shop the CM8200 that's $180 from Cox vs the SB8200 that you can find for a little less.

    I think one also has a different RF modulator.  However, I think DOCSIS 3.1 will be around a while, so it shouldn't make a difference.  Shopping by price should be your best consideration.  Isn't that Moto DOCSIS 3.0?

        You're right...it is D3.1.  Not sure why I thunk that.
