Zeagle F7 Vs F8

[Supermammal]

So I had a Flathead 7 primary I got for a great price, tried to get a matching octo for it but was sent the newer f8 model octopus.

Any opinions on quality differences? Also any opinions on having a different octo than my primary?

Just trying to figure out if I should send it back and try finding a matching f7 octo.

It doesn't matter. You can mix and match as you like. The F8 is an excellent regulator.

That's considered an upgrade by Apollo, the new manufacturer of Zeagle regulators. I was skeptical but really like my F8s.
The F8 is slightly more compact so I use it as an "octopus".

Is the Zeagle F8 octo the same exact second stage that's on the F8 regulator? I have an FH7 and I'm wondering if down the line it would be a good upgrade to upgrade the second stage to the F8.

Yes, other than the yellow color, it's the same 2nd as the F8. Even says F8 on it. I was hoping for a matching F7 set because now with the F8 maybe I'll get jealous when someone has to borrow air
