It seems like 8 hours is just on the cusp of having enough time to make it worthwhile to get a transit visa and a hotel room. But I do have access to the Emirates business class lounge, which looks pretty good...

Some of the previous posts on this thread have leaned toward the hotel room but is it more trouble than it's worth?
I'm assuming you've checked that you're not eligible for Dubai Connect? Free hotel, visa and transfers if no shorter connection available at time of booking in same class of travel for layovers over 7h in Business class.
