The s33 was a big upgrade from my 2 year old Motorola DOCSIS 3.0 modem, not just in its potential speed, but the eight channel connection significantly improved the quality of my internet service. My area often has issues with signal/line noise on connection to the local node during inclement weather. Unfortunately that often caused some of the channels to drop and forces the modem to remodulate, but this modem seems to be able to compensate much better for the interference. Even though I don't have gigabit service anymore, the improvement to the quality of the connection was well worth the purchase.

You can use pretty much any networking device for the trade-in, a super old Wi-Fi thumb drive, a old cable modem, an old router that you found at a garage sale, a PCI networking card from the late 1990s, whatever. I used a 4-port 1 megabit networking hub that i bought at a garage sale for $0.25 👍

Imo, the S33 is better for performance. Some of the key features are that it has two ethernet output ports and has six times the on board ram as the MB8661. (The Motorola does have some perks that you might be interested in if you have a specific need.)
The s33 supports up to 2.5gbit, and the Motorola supports up a theoretical 6gbit. I don't think that's really a big factor because 5Gwireless home modems or fiber will probably be available Loooong before even 2gb Internet is offered over cable/coax. The cable companies are just too farking cheap/greedy and want to keep bleeding people dry with the infrastructure that they already have in place.
Works just as well.
This price is a rip off
