I really don't see a difference in signal strength for LTE with ND8. Compared to MK3, the only difference I see is that it takes slightly longer to go back to LTE from 3G.
Overall, the entire KitKat update seems to have given new life to this phone. I really don't mind the new ND8 modem since my area is fairly advanced as far as NV upgrades go so 3G is usable again if I ever fall to it. One thing that people haven't really noticed is that WiFi works now. On 4.3, if my phone sat on the edge of my WiFi network, the speeds would be so slow that the phone would kick me out to LTE automatically. Now, my signal is a lot better and my speeds are way faster on on the same location. Before, my WiFi speeds on fringe area were 3-6 Mbps, but now on the same location the WiFi is anywhere from 13-18 Mbps.
