Technically the HTC M8 is the most powerful WP since it uses the Snapdragon 801 compared to the Lumia 930/Icon and 1520 who use SD800.

Technically true if your definition of powerful is limited to SoC. If powerful is taken in the common context for smartphones to mean flexible and useful, then 1520 is still the Apex, with HTC One M8 and Icon/930 close runners up.

Yep.

801 vs 800 is mostly irrelevant and its only used as a pro for the m8 despite it literally having no difference. If we were talking 810, then I could concede that. No one should buy the m8 (and according to sales/market share, almost no one did) because of an 801 processor. Especially when you take in it's weaknesses as well.

Yes the Lumia 1520 is still the most powerful windows phone to date with the 930/icon being directly behind it.

1520 or ICONN will be good choices
