4 eights would be way better than 5 sixes.
Once commuting is accounted for you don't really gain 25% more time.
Also at least in O+G boom times we were down to pretty close to that with flex days and every second Friday off.
36 x 52 = 1872 and add in 5 - 10 flex days and you get down to 1800 hrs per year which is around 34hrs per week. So no a huge step change from Sweden,
