Downgrade

On R7 you can buy and install custom FW. You can't do it on this.
There are many site that compare R7 and R8 side by side and they all say there's no difference, none whatsoever that matters .

This has been $560 over on eBay for days currently OOS, Might come back in stock. Can do PayPal Chase Freedom on that plus a little cash back. Might be available again tomorrow. If I ordered this I would set it for prime day delivery so you can cancel if it goes lower tomorrow.

It's chunkier and I find the screen easier to read. There's a "mark" button on the front so no more triple clicking the side button. The biggest change in my opinion is the Bluetooth. Using the R8 with the iOS companion app is a game changer for keeping things silent. I've not used it with Android, which uses a different app(s), but believe it's just as good or better. Detection range is supposedly better but haven't really seen anyone that thinks it's necessary over the R7. However this is America and it's your duty to get the one with the bigger number.

This has been around $630 for a long time on Amazon so it's about a $30 discount.

I have both r7 and r8. My impression: range/sensitivity seems a bit higher on r8. R8 has Bluetooth enabled in the latest firmware update. I like the form factor and screen a little more on the r8 (preference).

That's about it. Both great. Hard to recommend someone with an r7 to upgrade to an r8. But I don't regret buying both.
