I've tried to salvage this answer - it has some good points.

Examine this circuit; eachthe circuits below. Each of the diffpairs hasthree differential pairs on the left have differential gain of 8X4X at low frequencies; butfrequencies. Yet their F3dB (45 degree point) are not consistent;the same: why?

And Q7/8 doQ8 - same topology as what you propose - does not have a gain of 8X8x. It in fact has gain < 1x. Why?

The input and output voltage waveforms for each amplifier circuit

The frequency amplitude response of the 4 circuits The frequency phase response of the 4 circuits

Also notice the leftmost diffpair has no source resistor, thus CMiller can be infinite but the SPICE source handles the input current (Ibase, Cob) just fine; on the other hand, the 3 right circuits include Rin, and that R along with Cmiller impacts the circuit bandwidth.
