I ask because while I like the approach Amazon has taken with the UI, I really dislike the overall dogginess of its performance.

See:

The processors are different; the former is 32 bit, the latter is 64 bit.
Former has only 1GB RAM, the latter has 1.5GB.

I have an HD 6 (4th gen), which has pretty much the same CPU specs as HD 8 (5th gen), and HD 8 (7th gen), which has pretty much the same CPU specs as HD 8 (8th gen). I can say the latter is quite a bit faster, plus it has SD expansion. The 8th gen is considerably cheaper than the 5th gen was, as well. I cannot comment on raw performance as I have very few 3rd party apps on my HD 8. But it is much, much better for the basics.
