Give it a chance. There have been pretty much zero complaints about the new 8 speed in the mid-size twins thus far.
Honestly if it fixes the low speed lurching and the torque converter issues from the prior gen, that alone should result in a pretty good transmission, but so far the new owners say it's pretty smooth.
