Well that's a step in the right direction

. Unfortunately it's only a baby step

.
I would like to make that the prop for my -8 when I'm ready. It looks like a weapon!
I don't remember reading any of the prop vs. prop comparisons yielding more that 5kts. difference, or a couple hundred feet/min. of climb which makes choosing a prop basically an exercise in aesthetics.
I have never flown a plane w/ a composite prop either, but can imagine the quicker response to power inputs would be nice.
Anyway, hopefully the price for this new prop will be within a couple thousand dollars by the time I need to shell it out.
Fingers crossed.
