Default line for gary anderson 8 weight

What would be the difference between having a 6/7/8 weight line on the
8 weight gary anderson gray and a 8/9/10 on it? I am thinking of
getting a 6 weight tfo in the future. I am thinking if I had a 6/7/8
weight rio windcutter multi tip (on a ross big game reel) on the 8
weight gary anderson 8 weight gray, I could also use the reel (with
6/7/8 weight rio) on the 6 weight tfo. Gary Anderson recommended a
8/9/10 weight for the 8 weight.

There no reasonable lines which is more than one single AFTM class. Aftm 8
and aftm 10 has almost 5 grams in weight difference! Look at
http://www.sexyloops.com/beginners/lesson2/aftm.shtml for more info.

Theres a reason why good rod makers has ONE aftm number noted on their rods
