Lvl 8 walls are not kind of the same. They have 500 more hit point which is allot. Not only that the intimidation factor of your base goes way up and it will scare allot v of attackers off.

Level 8 walls are expensive, costing 1 million gold each. So use the gold for upgrades, and while you are waiting, if your gold level gets too high, then upgrade an inner wall so you won't get looted. Larry
Yes yes and yes, they are the step from a weak looking enemy, to a strong one ;)
If you don't upgrade the walls you will be sorry later on. I cancelled my TH when I upgraded it to TH 10 and I had 250 level 7 walls… Now I have 81 level 10 walls and rest level 9. You will understand the importance (if thats even a word) of the walls later on, but if you don't do level 8 you will regret it.
Summary:
Upgrade your walls to level 8!
Loot gets harder to find at TH 9. So, if you have the "problem" of full storages, get your walls done now. It might take a week, or even two, but that's half he time it's going to take you to do it at TH 9. So while it seems like a setback now, in the long term (and that's what this game is all about) you'll be better off.
But, that said, I can never bring myself to do walls until everything else is done. Walls are WAY overpriced, imo. Especially when hoggers are just gonna hop them like they never even existed. That's a lot of time and gold for something that can just be completely bypassed by hogs, drags and minions. Heck, a 20k jump spell lets gobs hop right into your core. End rant now. :rolleyes:
