Software versions do make a difference as do plastic encoder shafts versus metal shafts and whether or not a pre-selector is on board.

All 8711s are not equal. I would say that the comparison of the two is fair only if the WJ has the latest boards and firmware.
I hope this is the case for the gentleman who bought the two WJs for $600 each!
I paid top dollar for my two WJs (one HF-1000A and Sigma-IDT 8711A). Best receivers for me.
