I would say that very very few collectors would buy an 8.5 to upgrade an 8.
Lots would upgrade with a 9 or upgrade a 9 with a 10 but my sense is too minor of an upgrade unless weak 8/strong 8.5.
8.5s are getting a moderate premium to 8s based on what I have seen.
Based on vintage I might bid 25% more than I would for an 8.
