I'll answer my own question.
Couldn't wait for a review
Pulled the trigger and bought a 10+8.
I'm no pro by a long stretch but managed a 13.2 mt jump on the 8 today, day 1. If I didn't kite earlier am I reckon I might have cracked a pb
Definitely the best kite I've had and I've had a few. Kite, bar, bag absolutely top quality. Rock solid in the air. What ya want when it's 30+
