Did you change your 6v. Packard to 8v or 12v?

For a while now I've debated going to 8v or 12v for my '41 120. For those of you that have switched, did you encounter any problems or in the case of 8v upgrades, still a desire to go to 12v? The weak lights and slow starting just don't make it for me anymore. I could enjoy the car a lot more with a change, but don't know if just a new 8v battery would do it.

I now own a 2014 C7 Stingray (another wish come true) and the 1941 Packard, so I have the best of both worlds, old and new. I would love to hear from Packard owners who have upgraded to a higher voltage and if they are happy with it. I do show the vehicles, but the points difference wouldn't bother me. Dim lights coming home from the shows does though. Thanks guys (and girls) for any info.
