Aerial 10Ts are even a tougher load than 3.3s. You would think the $9000 retail Pass Labs X350 is better than the $2000 8008ST! I think the Palladiums would be closer to the X350 in "palpability" or other highend sonics.
I ended up getting a great deal on three PalladiumIIs for my front 3 speakers (3.3s and AC2). The massive, more expensive monos provide more power, bass, smoothness than the respectable Parasound.
I think the original Palladiums is sonically better (by how much?) and of course have more power than the 8000BB/MkII. How loud do you listen on the SPL meter? The 8008MkII probably clips close to 300x2.
