You're going to get an OG of ~1.061 w/ 8.5 lbs LME vs ~1.069 w/ 9.5lbs.

It would be helpful to see your entire recipe. I looked through my notes, and I brewed an IPA (when I was still doing extract beers) and I used 9 lbs of LME. That gave me an OG of 1.067, and the beer finished out at 1.012 giving me 7.25%ABV.

Man, I'd have said 'Generally? Higher.' HBT: Not as big jerks as I am, apparently
