Clear 440s comprable?

I've been meaning to replace my Widex Senso's with a bluetooth-capable advanced wireless hearing technologies.
I was just reading about the new Widex Clear 440s. Anyone have an opinion or thoughts on these? Are they better than Phonak or Oticon?
Anybody have thoughts or suggestions about buying a just-released model? I wouldn't want to do that with a car and thesee things cost just about the same (well pretty close anyway).

Widex are know for having soft and comfortable sound processing what those who wear them usually find pleasant, this is especially the case for those who wear Sensos. Many people find it difficult to switch from Widex to something else.

Its true that the sound is very soft and comfortable however you trade off speech understanding instead.
The Clear 440s look to be a very cool hearing aid. It seems that the main difference between the wireless aspect of the Clear versus others is that you won't have to have something hanging around you neck. The M-DEX is a remote congtrol and wireless control in one device. Since you are already wearing Widex it shouldn't be too difficult for you adjust to the Clear especially since Widex has a such a unique sound. You would probably have more difficulty switching to a different manufacturer. I have fitted a few clients with Oticon Agils and they all love them, I am definitely looking forward to the Clear being launched though. I hope this helps you.
