Running away from those 8 speeds now, when does the juice step onto the field?

In a few words, what does a six speed do/have that an 8 speed don't? Last transmission I was familiar with was a Torque-flite 727...

Mod for mod with only difference being trans the 8-speed going to be at the finish line the quickest.

Gear ratio plus ability to handle more torque on the ZF 8HP70 / ZF 8HP90

Thanks. Seems a 192 lb. tranny designed in Germany for the BMW initially started production by Chrysler in the states in 2013. Interesting.
