I havent tried the sport demons yet...and honestly, I dont think I will. I like carving twisties mostly, and the gt501 is just the tire for it in my opinion. Surprisingly, they last a while too. Ive got around 4K on mine, and it hasnt even begun to square off or anything....unlike the stock IRC's that squared off after 3400 miles.

Im running a 130/70/17 GT501 on the rear...and I like it a lot. Even in the wet, it performs well. But it really excels once you get it warmed up.

When you first put them on, scrub em in nice and easy, they tend to be slick until you get the mold release off of them. Dunlop will tell you they dont use mold release, but they are full of it.
