I wouldn't worry too much about the loot at TH9. Yes, you won't have TH7's to pick on like you did at TH8 but once you start getting a well developed 9 you will decimate every TH8 you see so it's irrelevant.
lvl 6 troops, 20 more capacity, AQ, another spell.....yeah most TH8's don't stand a chance (and that's even if they are maxed).
Those max giants and loons get a HUGE boost.
