Managed to get a 2017 Speed Queen

LL, you may not need to bother with the extra spin.  SQ washers do spin on the slow side.  I think our Amana (SQ clone) had a top spin speed of 625 RPM.  Yours might be 725.  Spinning for a longer period may not help much.  In theory, you could spin it all day at 725 but extraction won't surpass 725RPM worth.  

 

Maybe this is why SQ's dryers don't mess around.

 

 
 
I am fortunate to be able to get my hands on a 2017 model 9 top load washer. I cannot get the matching dryer. Any changes with the 2018 7 series dryer? We like the wrinkle guard option so I am going to go with a mixed set unless someone tells me to buy the 2017 8 series and be at the dryer when the cycle ends. Thanks.
 
<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">I got the dryer from Goedeker's online, no tax and free ship. The company I ordered the AWNES92SP from charged my credit card (insisted it was in stock at the time) and then gave me a song & dance routine telling me it was on order and would take 2 weeks...yeah sure. I cancelled the order and searched for the washer. I finally located one at a small appliance store in a sort of rural/horse-ranch town about 30 minutes from me. At least I don't have to drive to LA. I'm wondering if I shouldn't break tradition and get the front-loader instead or just go with want I want.</span>

If the 8 has a "touch up" or "wrinkle out" cycle,  I know from both my Amana (SQ clone) and Frigidaire dryers that these cycles are very effective.  It's a compromise and still doesn't eliminate the need to be there when the cycle ends, but on my Frigidaire it keeps tumbling for quite a while after the "touch up" cycle completes and gives a long reminder beep about every five minutes. 

 

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that up until recently, SQ's dryers didn't even offer an extended tumble option.   That makes about as much sense as refusing to provide an on-board heater with their front-load washers.
