DVB-S2 single tuner compare

Vu+ Newbie
Hello everyone!
I have a VU Duo2 equipped with a single DVB-S2 tuner and a DVB-c/t tuner.
Having read today the new driver update for Duo2/Ultimo i found out that there are different S2 single tuners: AVL6211 (from the update) and AVL2108 (from my box).
Has anyone tried to compare these 2 tuners to find out if there are differences on weak signals? My AVL2108 is struggling in getting a stable image on weak sat signals, as opposed to BCM4505 tuner from DMM who is slightly better and manages to get a stable image although it shows a lower quality signal in percentage.
So i want a test AVL6211 vs AVL2108!
PS: i found on the manufacturer website this comment:
"The AVL6211 is an enhanced version of the AVL2108 device. The AVL6211 is a highly
integrated DVB-S2 and DVB-S channel receiver IC. It converts a baseband analog
IQ signal from a satellite tuner and performs a set of sophisticated demodulating and
decoding operations to output an MPEG video/audio stream. The AVL6211 provides
simple and flexible control via a standard two-wire bus.The AVL6211 includes dual, differential, high performance, analog to digital converters
(ADC) with a built-in compensation circuit for DC offset and IQ imbalance. An RF AGC output is provided
for simple gain control of the satellite tuner via an RC network. "
