It cuts a bit faster with the 8 pin. I wouldn't recommend it with anything over 20" because you have to be so light with your touch.
Yup. Put DP 8 pin & 24" on mine as soon as it got home. Really liked the saw, but was starting to get the impression it didn't have any torque. Very touchy. Threw the stock 7 pin back on, and loved it. 20" on down, and the 8 pin is great.
Couple of weeks ago, just for kicks, I put the 8 pin on the 440 with a 16" bar w/ fresh 3/8 square filed chisel chain on to limb and block some 12-14" ash. Wow! That smoked!
