There are not many comparisons out there at the time of this initial post
here's a place to share them if you find them or make them
here's two separate videos made specifically for comparison ...
here's two reviews of (respectively) 8 and 7 by the same reviewer a few years apart ...
any more?

I posted this in another thread. P7 and P8 alternating every 4 bars for the first 16 (P7 first), then every bar thereafter through the chorus section and the repeat to fade. NY Steinway D Jazz Recording preset with the internal reverb and delay turned off and external reverb in Cakewalk by Bandlab (I suppose I should do one with umolested sounds). Basically P8 is "boxier" and "darker". The stereo image and "room" sound also seem slightly different though there are no micing changes so far as I can see.
another comparison on YouTube ...
