I am getting new pads soon and i decided on RbKs and im leaning towards the 8Ks because the price is unbeatable. They look exactly like the Premier II's so im wondering what the differences between them are...?
please help me out!

Huge difference in terms of durability, stiffness, and quality.
The P2 will use better foams, leathers, and straps. Go with the P2 if it's within the budget. |

| as MX42 said... purely about quality of the product. the higher end pads use better foams, better straps, and often have one or two small upgraded features. |

Go with the PIIs, I have 7K pads and they're pretty close to the 8Ks, missing some little tweaks. But they're not that great of quality, and mine have been ripping a few times. If you can afford it, go PII.
