An advantage for me for the Colossus is I'd definitey be able to fire two bullets. I probably could for the 888 but if I come for the 888, I'll probably play in the Golden Nugget 500K event on Friday (day 2 is sunday, so if I advanced I wouldn't fire two bullets at the 888, just one).
I'm planning on playing this event. I love the comfort of playing 8 handed as compared to the crowded 10 handed tables. Structure is kind of fast but a bit better than last year.
Last year this tournament had a factor of 50 "S-Points" compared to 59 this year. The higher the number the better the structure. Below is link to a great site to compare structures.
