Hello there I wouldnt reccomend you go for rechecking since there is 2 band score difference in listening and writing and speaking sections. When there is a 2 band score difference the chief examiner double checks your speaking and writing so there is a negkible chance to see your score increasing. I have applied for EOR in November when I got the following results L8.5 R7.0 W6.5 S7.0 after 8 weeks of wait the score came unchanged.
This time my results were L8 r7.5 w6.5 s8 and there were no 2 band score difference and I applied for rechecking

I would say sit for the exam again not only because of the 2.0 point difference but also because your score may put you aside from competitive CRS (I'm not sure about the other factors of your PR application such as # Yrs of Experience, education, age, etc..).

From your post, currently, you're in CLB 10 for listening, CLB 9 for Reading but CLB 8 for both W&S. Even with re-marking, you're highly unlikely to get more than 1 band increase in Speaking and/or Writing. So I'd say, think carefully! I believe you will do better if you sit for another exam given that you already have attempted the test once and your results are not bad for a first attempt honestly, there is still room for improvement on your IELTS performance.

At the end, your decision would also depend on your current CRS with your current IELTS marks; does the current score make your profile competitive enough? (ie. above 440 CRS) If so, you don't need to worry about re-marking or sitting for the exam again.

2 point difference doesn't matter. My experience with this.

I had
L - 8.5
R - 7
S - 7.5
W - 6

I opted for EoR and got
L - 8.5
R - 7
S - 7.5
W - 7

My case had two odds: 1) There was difference of more than 2 with other section, 2) I was expecting a jump of a band, which I was told not to expect by many(Chief examiner at the exam center).
