The -7 & -8 stabilisers are different. The -7 fuselage is wider at the leading edge position requiring different skins.

The -7 and -8 have the same Empennage, but the -6 has a different one. The -4 and -6 Empennages are much smaller than on the -7 and -8. To my eye, the 4/6 fin-rudder is a little too small, and the 7/8 fin-rudder is a little too big. That being said, with the IO-390 on the -8, I'm often wishing I had more rudder authority during landing. So, it may be visually too big on the 7/8 already, but it could be bigger!
