Ask Motion, they would be the only ones who would know.
8S can give anywhere from 25-40+% more power over 6S. Both the 6 and 8S set ups for this are new plus each set up has a little different performance in the aircraft due to ducting. Too soon to know for this aircraft and the stock EDF units or even aftermarket ones.
While the stock 8S will be significantly heavier than the stock 6S it's not an absolute all 8S systems will be heavier. My go to is a Jetfan EDF unit and a HET motor. The EDF unit is much lighter than the metal stock units and the HET motor is about the same weight as the stock FW motors. In this plane the ESC is a 8S ESC so no change there. What's left is batteries. Most people consider a decent 6S 5000 to be around 800g. I have good 5200 6+2 8S pairing that I use in other planes that is 895g and a 5000 6+2 that is 795g. So really at the end of the day not much heavier if at all and I get about 40-45% more power than previous FW 6S set ups and more flight time.
You can get the same from 10S and 12S choosing the right batteries.
