Personally, I think a 8/10 is going to be a gusher to write with.... I have a couple of Binder stubs .6 and .7mm and like them to be no more than a 6-7/10... My stub nib pens are filled with Noodlers if that makes a difference to you...
Remember that different inks may write to a different wetness scale.... Richard is a big fan of Waterman and I believe that is what he bases his wetness on...

I'd agree with Old Griz, you'll drown in an 8/10, especially if it's a broad.
