converting an X4 quad into an X8

Can anybody give me a quick dummies guide on how to choose a second set of motors to add to an X4 to make it into an X8?

I currenty have a set of 4 LDpower D800 3510-360kv motors with 15x5.5 props but I hear it's advisable to have different kv motors (and/or different props) on the second set. Can anyone make suggestions or get me started on the why's and wherefore's being the choice of second motors please?

Also, does anyone know of any reason why an APM 2.5 wouldn't be suitable for an X8?

Cheers.


Col.
