I am just asking about differences.

You can see that for yourself by looking at the data sheets of both models and making a list of differences. If you’re working for a company that sells this to customers you should be able to get this basic information yourself.

One difference that may not be immediately self-evident on the data sheet is how you juggle multiple calls. The 7800 series requires that you use the up/down toggle beneath the display to select calls while the 8800 series uses a second set of buttons on the right side of the display instead. In my opinion, the 8800 series approach is better. The 8811 is for everyone that prefers the 8800 series but can’t quite afford an 8841 or 8851. My general advice to customers is to pick one series or the other so your environment is consistent, ideally standardize on a single model.

Cisco also publishes a comparison table for the major differences.
