Like I said, it depends on many variables. Also I suspect your definition of a "7" or "8" may be very, very different from mine. One anecdotal report of a "9" from the internet is not worth much, even if it did happen, and even if it is a true 9. Again too many variables. There are always exceptions to rules. If you're getting better results online than in bars, then I would counter you're either being lazy or are doing something wrong, or you have an exceptionally good set of variables going on, which I already addressed:

If you're in a big city, with great logistics, and a tried and tested plan to bang on first date, you could get 4s, 5s, and 6s here and there. But you soon get tired of the lack of quality. Fucked up faces and bodies, fucked up minds.
In the Anglosphere, average quality wise, night game beats online game. There is no disputing that, online really is the gutter as far as quality goes. You go to the right clubs and bars and 7s 8s and 9s are there for the taking. Not easy but they are there and if you're anywhere decent you have a chance.
If you are getting great success online with truly quality girls, true 7/8/9s with minimal mental issues and pleasant personalities, it would be beneficial to others for you to outline your specific circumstances and what has made this possible for you, so that any others on this forum who wish to try their hand at the whole internet thing can benefit from your wisdom. There may be some variables vital to your success that you're not consciously aware of, so try to list everything. I suppose this would be a separate thread though.
All I know is, from my own experience in the UK, I go online in most cities and I see without a shadow of a doubt the worst quality women, women you never see in the day because they barely leave the house. I haven't looked in years because it's just repulsive. On the other hand in the very same city I can go out to local bars and see hot, hot women. Even if a large % of them are dumb bar/club sluts, they are still hot as hell. Internet dating is where women who wouldn't get attention in real life hang out, so that they can get the attention they miss in real life. This is because the attention in real life goes to the girls who are actually hot, not the fat grenade you want to get rid of so you can take your cute girl home. There's also a huge proportion of women online with mental illness, warning signs being tattoos, piercings, odd haircuts, odd hair colors, interests such as "Pokemon" and so on. I personally would use the internet in certain other countries in conjunction with day game, but I would not and do not use it in the Anglosphere. I would also NEVER use the internet as my only way of meeting women. That's like going to McDonalds drive-thru every day and concluding that Big Mac and fries constitutes the entire culinary diversity of humanity.
The OP's original desire to transition from night game to day game is just another step in the increased quality direction. You find women who are not only naturally more beautiful, but also more pleasant and feminine. At night, you might get top tier club sluts who are extremely hot, but they lack feminine decorum which is very unpleasant and difficult to deal with. I would say day game is the "hardest" but if you don't want to labor to build a huge social circle it's the best way to get quality mLTRs.
P.S. OP, in response to your original question, as above, there is no sugar coating it, day game is hard. There are pros and cons of it vs night game. I've given one pro already, higher quality girls in every respect. If you go to a main shopping mall or street with high foot traffic, you can see hundreds of hot girls walk by that you never would have got to meet in a bar or night club. There is some overlap of course because some of these girls may be in bars occasionally (or a lot), a few of them even may have profiles online (lol)... but generally, you will be putting yourself ahead of most men who only approach when drunk at night or "approach" online.
The main cons I see in daygame are related to its pros. Higher quality girls may be more pleasant to talk to generally than drunk club sluts, but many of them have genuine LTRs and without alcohol, music etc. are less susceptible to being led astray, even if their foot is half out the door. You have lots of pleasant, interesting conversations, which unfortunately lead nowhere, even if you get the number. Take from this what you will but "top" daygamers say they "only" get 1 in 10 bangs from numbers collected, and if you get a good 1 in 3 numbers from approaches, you see that there is maybe 1 in 30 chance of a bang from an approach. That's if you're doing well. There are approach machines who have done ridiculous daytime cold approaches, like 200, 300, 500 or even 1000 and got only 1 or even 0 lays. Most of this is the RSD nutters who advocate spamming without any kind of appraisal of results plus some pseudo-Buddhist ramblings to get over the emotional steamrolling that 1000 daytime approaches will lead to. (Most of them burn out and quit.)
So if you're asking guys who are successful as per your OP, you have to get a realistic ballpark figure of what successful in day game actually is. If you look at the "expert" numbers above, they don't look all that tempting. Either you go to a place in the world where the market will increase your numbers with the same efforts, or you are happy with those numbers and shoot for those.
If you take out your personal level of game, and assume it's decent enough with a few adjustments for slower/lower energy day vs faster/clown level energy night, then I think the reason why day game has such apparently low success rates is because of logistics. Most girls are going somewhere, on errands, and if they are not, it's still hard to pull them directly to your place in the cold light of day, no alcohol. A girl who allows that would be more likely to be promiscuous, maybe that's what you want, but if it's a quality girl, the sad part about it is that she is less likely to cheat on her BF even if she likes you. Girls get nervous in the day and in the cold light of day their interest is subtle but through experience becomes obvious. I don't think the whole direct thing is necessary, girls genuinely do get scared, situational indirect has worked best for me. It becomes irrelevant what you started with when you start to ask personal questions, she won't even remember.
Day game is for me the most beautiful and thrilling way to meet women but also very sad at the same time. I've lost count of the beautiful, feminine girls that are just not accessible. PUA companies will tell you that you can get every girl, bullshit. Roosh said it well, something along the lines of, at any given time most girls will not be open to meeting someone new, and there's nothing you can do that can change that. At some other time in the future, if you caught them, they might be open. But not at the time you approached. Developing ways to cut off the interactions which (from experience) you sense are going to lead to nothing as early as possible is key in minimizing your efforts to get results because burnout is a big problem in day game. Also running game in certain niches of day game which you find easier helps as well, for instance if you hate game on the subway, but you feel more free on the streets and malls, or festivals or coffee shops, whatever it is, as long as there are plenty of quality girls, go for the path of least resistance. Play to your strengths. Pick your battle fields wisely. Pick your battles wisely. Know when to run, know when to persist. If you're fortunate enough to get some bangs from beautiful girls from daygame, I find it's best to put them in a harem/rotation/keep them as mLTRs because these are more the type of girls you wouldn't mind your family meeting.
