The -800 has the same wing as the -700. Higher weight means that the -800 has faster approach speeds. The -700 is significantly cleaner than previous versions, and more difficult to slow down, but the -800 is still worse, in that regard. All previous versions (except the original -200, pre- "advanced") moved the slats to Full Extend when the flaps go to 10 degrees. In the -800, you have to wait until flaps 25 to get them to go to Full Extend, meaning that it is even cleaner than the -700, right when it needs to slow down. As Cleavon Little said, in Fletch Lives, "I you want to stop, you have to plan ahead."
