I had a brief stint with the HD-800 and prefer the HD-650 over the 800's. To be fair though, my components I'm using for my 650's are entirely different. There's something about the 650 sound sig that keeps me from wanting more. IMO, they're perfect.

Perhaps the open-back design, or just the look in general; I've always been a Sony fanboy when it comes to headphones, and all of my good pairs have been Sonys. However, when the HD-800 came out, that made me feel quite violated, given their similarities to the SA5000s. It's the one pair of Sennheisers I'd love to try. HD650s though... I wonder.
