Edge? If by edge you mean tooth rattling, spine jarring, glass shattering vibration then yes. Who wouldn't? If however you're insinuating that an 850 will outhandle the newer product (namely the S60 T5M with 17" and Sport Chassis) I think you'll find yourself staring at a few S60 bumpers in rather deep corners.
