The analysis of the ground state rotational spectrum of SO2F2 has been performed with the Watson's Hamiltonian up to sextic terms but shows some limits due to the A and S reductions. Since SO2F2 is a quasi-spherical top, it can also be regarded as derived from an hypothetical XY4 molecule. Thus we have developped a new tensorial formalism in the \mathbfO(3) \supset Td \supset C2v group chain. We test it on the ground state of this molecule using the same experimental data (0--1 THz region, J up to 99). Both fits are comparable even if the formalisms are slightly different. This talk intends to establish a link between the classical approach and the tensorial formalism. In particular, our tensorial parameters at a given order of the development are related to the usual ones. Programs for spectrum simulation and fit using these methods are named C2vTDS.
