We trained from Lymington a few months ago, with some 800's.  In about 10 knots of breeze we were fully wiring upwind, sailing past 800's who were crouching on the wing.  49er is way more powerful than the 800, so it's no contest really.  To be honest, I wouldn't sail anything else.

It shouldn't come down to speed though.  My point was that the 49er gets you wiring far quicker, and is therefore more enjoyable to sail. (in my opinion)
