What should 8.1 Rewards look like?

So, as per a recent post by my new best friend Jax, 
it seems like we should hear some news about the release of 8.1 possibly when all of next month's stuff drops, or at least within the next month (since Story content has typically dropped mid-month). That being said, I like to make predictions about stuff and not just react sometimes so I can temper my expectations or even be excited.
I will walk you through my process of speculation and maybe we can discuss reward scaling in the Battlerealm in a positive manner. Hopefully. Here have been the rewards for Act 6 and Act 7 by chapter and for the whole Act:
Here is what I assume would be a reasonable step up based on previous increases, but obviously things could be different.
I could definitely see an increase in the rank-up gems from what I put, and since they have been dropping R4 materials much more often lately, I could also see those improving.
I would also be very curios to see if the path rewards have been increased since Act 7. Personally, I loved those and they were great for that part of the story progression, so I wouldn't hate it if they stayed the same, and simply doubling things seems like quite a big step.
This is pretty basic, and I suppose I could've done a regression based on shards/gems and extrapolated out to the end of Act 8 just for fun, but I am interested to see the community opinion on what things might look like. Cant wait to rush for completion on the first day and then have the agonizing exploration crawl over the next week or two.

I do think we will see more sig stones though. 20 seems low
So 8.1 should ideally offer a lot more than that.... preferably 50% of a R4 i.e. 1.5 of each catalyst
Just 50% of 1 from 8.1 won't cut it anymore with current game economy
Also with Act 8 it's probably the right time to make 6* sig stones more accessible
Also even EQ gives 30% of each.
Lol wasn't expecting that. Guess my guess might have been rather conservative if the rest of the rewards are scaled to match that.
