I own Battery.
I downloaded the demo of Dr 008 and for my needs it blows Battery out of the water. Purchased it online immediately + they have gigs of downloadable kits/samples many of whic are excellent.

Why Dr.008

1) It's approach to layering sounds - much easier to work with
2) Auditioning sounds *in place in groove* direct from the hard drive is worth the price of admission alone
3) Much more powerful, modular system with all kinds of capacity to generate tones and manipulate them.
Battery has not been updated in ages - Dr 008 is ambitiously forward looking. IMHO of course. And best way is to try em both. Tastes differ.
