DVB-S2 8PSK is more efficient than DVB-S QPSK. There aren't many transponder using the latter left at 28 E.
This is what AI says:
Choosing DVB-S2 8PSK over legacy DVB-S QPSK provides higher spectral efficiency, greater data capacity per transponder, and optimized delivery for high-definition (HD) and ultra-high-definition (UHD) broadcasts

We can only hope the extra data capacity will be used for a better picture quality, f.e. more channels in HD and a higher bitrate would be nice.

At the mo all of 'us'posters in this thread are outside the intended UK beam coverage, so an accepted reason . Happy we still receive it and definately better than in old Astra 2D days when many here (min 2.4m dish) had nothing!
