You are ready for th8 if all defences are maxed for th7;) only thing you wont have to max is walls.
the thing with upgrading th, is that you will get a less percentage of loot when searching! Thats why you should wait as long as possible till you can't wait any longer:p
The best advice I can give you:
Max everything at TH7. TH8 takes FOREVER. Everytime I shield I get 216,000 gold and elixir because I spent the time getting my collectors up to 11. This almost negates any attack I have where my primary resources get stolen. Definitely worth doing, especially as you level and climb trophies you'll only get attacked more and more.
Your goal should be simple: Once you hit TH8 have everything at TH7 max'd and have full resources so you can get the ball rolling quickly. I did this by planning out my upgrades and once I hit upgrade on my TH I left one builder free to upgrade my walls. Hit TH8 with 4,001,000 primary resources and 20k DE with a completely max'd defense and lvl5 BK. I'm cruising through TH8, only took me a few weeks to get max splash and bk to 10 (done in 6 hours!).
It won't take long to max everything...INCLUDING walls. Also I strongly advise having storages completely filled. When you hit TH8, having maxd storages gives a huge boost in getting away from newby 8 status. Lab, spell factory, de drill and archers are in the bag right away. Plus you have full gold to upgrade new stuff.
You can upgrade now, and have no huge problems except raiding with TH7 troops and base getting through the newby period ... Or you can hit the ground running ...
Besides, while upgrading walls and maxing storages you can enjoy the benefits of getting your base to max 7. It's a fun period...so play.
If you just can't wait, you'll be fine at TH8. I would recommend staying and maxing your collectors though. I didn't do that until the last days of TH8 and let me tell you - max collectors is something I should have done a looooooong time ago.
But really - if you want to move up now, you won't suffer at all at TH8.
Nop seriously stay and do your walls! That pink walls is ugly! and before your TH8 is done makesure that your storages is filled with 4m gold/elixir so you can prepare all your 50 new walls mostly reach at level 6!
I would max my collectors and walls before th8.
Looks like you use alot of your gems for something else. I save all for huts. 4th hut is very helpful to speed up your upgrade, and even with 4 huts, I still feel I dont have enough for upgrade. It will take you longer to upgrade your stuffs.
Anyway, in the beginning of every TH upgrade, farming is very difficult. TH7 is not difficult to upgrade everything, including walls. Personally, I suggest you max all (including walls) before you move up.
