What to do.. what to do

Im looking for an opinion. I have always been a macroblade guy. I owned the original ones, the macroblade equipe, and macroblade maxxum (they are my current skates). They are kind of old and im going to get a new pair... I also own a pair of K2's (extreme flight I think? they are roughly as old as the maxxum's) but they never felt right.

Ive been looking at the Aero 6 and 8. Opinoins? I also tried on the K2 EXO 6.0 and they felt pretty good. I cant try the 6 and 8 because the stores in chicago only seem to have 10 and 11, not 10 1/2.

Finally, the pictures on your site for the 2005 Aero 6 and 8 dont look right, are they just previous model pics?

thanks! I hope to order soon, its already been warm enough a couple of times to skate along the lake.

Those are them. There were no previous Aero 6 or 8. Are you confusing the Aero 7 and 9?

Anyway... Both skates are great. The lacing, wheels, bearings and the boot are different however. Many like the lace system on the Aero 8. Just as many aren't big fans of it. So you'll just have to check that out to see what you think. As for the wheels, you can always upgrade to an 80mm on the Aero 6 just as you can the bearings.

So lacing becomes the biggest difference. Myself, I prefer the lacing on the Aero 6.

Thanks for the post!
