I jumped from 6 to 8s and it is astounding the speed difference. I am of the every other generation buyer. That and I am not ready to give up my touch id and habits in how I use it. Throw in that for some reason that notch on the X just bothers me
Not OP but I did the same thing. 7 and 8 seemed comparable but for a pretty negligible price difference, it seemed to make sense to just buy the latest and greatest. Agree that the speed is unbelievable. I was totally fine with my 6 and how it worked until iOS11 came in and wreaked havoc. The 8 + iOS11 is a lightning fast experience and I have no regrets about upgrading.
