Far easier for you to say what you require your engine to do.

The extra abilities of P8 over L8 is dizzyless and anti-lag. Everything else that the P8 can do, the L8 can as well (with a Pectel board). Obviously the P8 has more resolution than the L8 due to it being more modern, but if you don't intend on having ALS, then the L8 can even be adapted to dizzlyless operation with one of the MSD / SECS upgrade packs.

Personally, I would keep the P8 over the L8.
