Accordance 8.0.5 Update
Perhaps I should start by pointing you to the new features in Accordance version 8, the last major release.
Accordance 8.0.5, a point release, provides improved import of HTML files into user tools, and more options for the export of selected text. Some keyboard shortcuts have been changed: option-command-X removes selected verses from the Reference List window, and shift-command-N adds a new folder to the Library window (instead of F). As it’s usually the case with these kinds of releases, a number of obscure bugs have also been corrected. Also, since these updates are incremental, all previously reported bugs since the initial release of version 8 have been fixed.
Version 8.0.5 is available here, and it is a free upgrade to current users of version 8.0.x, whereas the working Accordance demo has also been upgraded to 8.0.5.

Josh, your question is a very common one these days. I recommend you take a look at the Introduction to Bible Software I posted today. Your starting point should always be your own study needs. Once you’ve done that, you should probably consider the fact that Accordance is a mature, full-featured product, and that Logos for Mac is still in its early beta stages (thus we don’t know exactly what it will be capable of when it is released). Hope this helps, but the decision is yours.
