gold arc 8 for rpb?

[vivalavida320315]

looking for a step up from hybrid k3

it's probably a step down in speed.
i currently use gold arc 8 for my rpb. downgrade of speed for sure, coming from t05.
but my blocking went through the roof, so i think it's worthwhile. i'll just use muscles if i want to do backhand harder.
