My thing is, if the difference between the the GS and PS are small, especially for the difference in the asking price, but between the new Senn HD800s and GS1000 is huge, and from what most people are saying that the Sennheiser HD800s are now the best cans anyone has heard to date, why would you opt the PS 1000s? and better yet, where does that that leave them in wake of the Sennheiser HD800s?

I guess this is a perfect example of the fact that everyone reads things differently.
First off, I've read nowhere that the differences between the GS and PS are small. Quite the contrary actually.
Second, no one has said that the HD800s are "now the best cans anyone has heard to date". Even the John Willet guy from Sennheiser said they don't touch the HE90, and they really aren't supposed to at a $1,400 price point.
Third, why would one opt for the PS-1000's? For my ears, personally, it's because no other manufacturer of headphones gets tone spot on like Grado does. Also, from what I've read, the HD800s don't excel in the bass category. That doesn't seem to be the case with the PS-1000's. If the PS-1000 turns out to be a PS-1 with a GS1000 soundstage, or even better, then game over for me.
