The App can read KF8 just fine. And maybe it would have worked if I had removed the DRM from the Kindle for PC version instead of the PW version - not sure if they are identical.

True, KF8 and mobi7 make use of different rendering engines with slight idiosyncrasies.
Wait -- are you saying two KF8 copies of the same book displayed differently on the Kindle app, depending on if there was DRM?

Another thing can be hard coded fonts, hard coded line height and such that will be stripped automatically when going to old mobi.

It will also be stripped automatically when setting the right options in calibre's conversion dialog. In any event, that seems to be an argument for using AZW3, which doesn't arbitrarily remove thing it, um, doesn't support. It is a purely MOBI difference.
