The newer algorithms from the H9 and H90 are more DSP intensive, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to being our sounding better than some of the older algorithms that require less DSP resources. The best thing I can suggest is experimenting and exploring as much as you can to find the sounds that you are most drawn to.
It is very simple to use VSig to see under the hood of some of these algorithms if you are curious. You just need to go to File > Settings to setup your connection, then click the cloud icon to download an algorithm from your H9000.
The architecture of SP2016 is very different from any of the H8000 reverbs. Can you provide some examples of the reverbs you are seeing with the same UI? There are many algorithms with drop down menus, but SP2016 does not share the same UI as other algorithms. You may be viewing different presets of the SP2016 algorithm.
