The FWB P8X was the best fit for me.
I'll second Neil's great service and competitive price.

The P8X is very nice. It has every adjustment you could want and being able to adjust the grip angle w/o removal is really convenient. I don't notice the holes in the wood. I like the grip. My 92mm wide hand corresponds to FWB size small but I like the depth of the medium as I think my hand is kind of long. I tried both sizes. First time I've shot much with a recoil absorber and i'm doing better at calling my shots. Out of the box it shot 7gr pellets avg 541fps with 5fps spread over 20 shots in the middle of a fill. 3 tools (2 hex and a flat head) used to adjust everything. The trigger adjustment screws are nicely marked and adjusting is really straightforward. The trigger feels really nice (i've also shot the MGH1 and K12). No perceptible over travel after the break and the break is crisp. It weighs 970g with the medium grip.
