Historics are all over the place. When I sold my two 2003 Brazilian board R9's, my plan was to replace them with two R8's and a TV yellow special. I went to several shops in the NYC area and played a lot of R8's. None of them made the cut for me. They either had cosmetic issues, weighed too much or didn't have the right feel. I ended up with two R9's again and some extra cash. Of course I've played some sweet R8's since then, but you never know which particular guitar is going to do it for you.
