Default 8-Speed Vs 6-Speed on RX350

I got a loaner over the weekend and requested a 2016 RX350. Fully loaded (BSM, Park Assist, Lane Departure, Radar, NO HUD). Absolutely loved the interior, the exterior is still up to debate. But I found that the car to be a lot louder than the 2015 RX350 and acceleration is slower. I figured it's the same engine, increased HP, but with heavier body. But why is it slower and louder? Is it because of the 8-speed, direct injection? I didn't find it to be as smooth as the last generation RX. Opinions?
