CF8 IMO definitely more pop. My DD had a CF8 last year and it was very hot. Unfortunately she snapped it in half. She has a CF9 this year and just not the same pop.
Weird thing I find about Demarini. I have taken many easy swings with the bat and I don't find it the easiest bat to square a ball up. I know that may sound strange, but it just seems harder to hit a ball solid. When swinging a Mako or Xeno it seems I can square everything up. Maybe it's just me, not sure.

Do a google search on CF8 and CF9 Sprites. That will tell you what you need to know. Pretty much sums up what I have seen over the last 6 weeks.
I agree with others CF8 > CF9 all day. Not seen enough of the CFX yet to make that comparison.
Also agree with others on the Sprites durability- have only seen a couple handfuls broken in our games and more than half have been Sprites.
The sound off the bat is a dead give too - side by side CF8 30/20 vs 30/19 - the 19 sounds much more hollow vs the solid sounding 20. The 19 has incredible pop relative to the swing power.
Just a bunch of random thoughts - but still totally sold on CFs....
