From there you can discern that, 300hz Square Wave wise, HD800 falls in the "Bright but clean response" region while K812 falls into the "Bright and harsh" response.

yeah that tells the story. i can understand folks liking the k812's sound signature more than the hd800 and vice versa but to say that the hd800 is technically inferior just ain't right.

Sorry if my original post was misleading.  I didn't mean to say that the HD800 is technically inferior to the K812 (especially if "technically inferior" is understood to mean "inferior with respect to the things measured at innerfidelity.com"),  I meant that, all things considered, the HD800 is inferior to the K812.  This is compatible with the claim that, in certain respects, the HD800 is superior to the HD800.  In particular, I grant that the K812 is harsher in the treble region.  I try to minimize this problem through the use of an equalizer, though I expect tubes would help as well.

 I've since decided to make my HD800, K812 and GS1000i permanent fixtures in my collection, they shall NOT be sold or traded.

Ditch the GS1000i and spring for the PS1000.

In what way is the K812 superior? If it's bass quantity which is subjective, use an EQ.

I guess distortion is not a subject to be considered anymore then...

It is a subject. The K812 has more distortion than mid-fi headphones and the AKG K812 is a $1500 flagship headphone. 
 
I'll wait till AKG release an MK2 version.

Have you given them a listen?

No. The only chance for me to audition the AKG K812 is simply to buy it and then refund it. If it was a headphone that I might have kept, I might have tried it. But I know there was no chance I would keep the AKG K812 regardless if I would like it's signature since it costs $1500 while it's not engineered like a $1500 headphone.  I think it's bad practise to do such things to shops.

@sonictransducer - in answer to your question - nope, but i wasn't referring to the fr graphs anyways
