Optimum level for upgrading Opera House?

so 7 or 9 what is it

this is tricky and depends on what characters you have and how frequently you play.

level 8 jobs are 2 hour tasks and frankly I've hit the wall with logging in 8-9 times a day to reset that frequently) (lvl 9 is 1 hour jobs but Rod and Todd who are saints are also youngsters with a 6 hour job (in order to beat Rod and Todd you have to reset the1 hour task 4 times in 6 hours) (I'm not going to log in every hour so for me the decision is 7 or 8.

Level 8 characters added (please verify in your games if these characters have future mask jobs you can see them as greyed out at the bottom of the task list, I just took character lists off a wiki)

Fat Tony (but he has a level 6 (4 hour) entrpreneur job (so basically his added job is not that useful to me (it moves from 16 masks in 4 hours if you use the 2 hour job twice versus 13 masks in 4 hours
Quimby (has a 12 hour DNA job, idk DNA is also rare, this is a character I'd probably keep on DNA)
SideShowBob (is needed from time to time in the questline and he also has Kooks and Celeb jobs for masks (and a 3 hour 6 hour DNA, basically he's already overtasked

Dr Robert (only had a corn job before)
Francesca (only had a corn job before)
Legs (only had a corn job before)
Louis(only had a corn job before)
Snake (only had a corn job before)

So basically 5-6 added characters with 2 hour jobs. (I guess you could call this 6 added characters if you are willing to reset Fat Tony regularly and own Francesca)
It costs 1575 Masks to lvl from 7 to 8
the 2 hour job pays 8 masks /2 hour job
you need to see how frequently you are willing to reset the job and how much time is left to see if you'd recoup the cost (for me, I'm sticking at lvl 7 (except for one town where I have Francesca and fewer other celeb earners, I'm still thinking about that game upgrading to level 8 ))

level 9 seems like it's too grindy for me and I don't think you can recoup

eta: and frankly the town that owns Francesca is the slowest to earn masks because fewer celebs so I'd probably stay at 7 unless someone has more convincing math (or EA increases the spawn rate again
