Not necessarily a fake; the 8N is the normal variant (without
stationary mode) and less expensive.  I suspect it's the same hardware
with a different firmware load - they price-discriminate because
they think the customers for stationary mode will pay more.

Alas, I don't know. In the past the 8T was expensive and difficult to
find; I haven't worked with one.  I guess you get to be forward scout 
on this one.
