Grizl 7 1by vs Grizl 8 1by

Hello,

Could someone assist me in choosing between the Grizl7 1by and Grizle 8 1by? I’m in the market for my first gravel bike, having previously owned more budget-friendly mountain bikes. The price difference is around $300CAD, primarily due to variations in the drivetrain and brakes. However, I lack the expertise to determine if the upgraded components on the Grizle 8 are necessary for my needs compared to those on the Grizl7. I’m considering whether it might be more beneficial to use the $300 for accessories instead, but I’m unsure. Any guidance would be appreciated!
