He's only 185lbs and with it not being crit geometry, and based on his description, I'd imagine it's 8.5.
Still, I gotta check fit a bit more.
Then it's a matter of being willing (or not) to lose a few hundred or so if I don't like it and have to resale.

Without the rest of the build sheet, it's still a crapshoot. Everyone has different perceptions. One mans too stiff is another's bliss. The beauty of total custom is that it can be tuned for the original owner...not so much for anyone else.
Try to pay as little as possible so if you do hate it, hopefully you won't lose too much if any on resale.
Good luck!
