I have a #07 (record) and I'd love a #08.
Thing is, that's because I also have a #03, #04, #04½, #05, #T5, #05½, #06 and #07, all from record, and I got suckered into this whole "gotta catch them all" line of thought before I knew what was what
So I'm now vulnerable to salesmen with #02s and #08s
But for actually making stuff with them, I use my #04½ set up as a smoother, my #05½ as a jack (I find there's more room for my hands in the ½ planes) and the #07 for jointing and the #T5 for shooting. The others haven't left the box in months. Maybe when I get them up on the wall...

In terms of buying a LN, no matter what size you buy, you won't regret it, so push the button.
A number 7 will achieve everything you want in a jointer.
