A curved blade helps cut tough homemade bread when that bit of crust at the bottom hangs on until the end. Straight blades tend to hang up at the tip. I'm not sure that you need to spend this much on a bread knife, but it's a beautiful knife that fits with the rest of this set and it's the better of the two.

First of all they are both Henckel Pro-S knives. They don't have bad points.

#1 The country knife has a slightly curved blade as compared to the straight edge of the regular bread knife

#2 The country is 1" longer (duh)

And the winner is . . . 8" Regular. The reason? They are both made by Henckels and both are top of the line. Unless there is a real need for an extra inch of cutting surface and slight curve to the blade for a couple of bucks more(and so far I can only see that holding a bigger knife is more spectacular), go for the 8" regular unless you really believe that bigger is better.
