Have you tried the 5K? It won't restrict your wrist movements as much since it doesn't have that extra protection. Obviously it's not as high end as the 8K but you don't really need top end elbows as long as it fits properly. I bought the NBH ONE90 when they came out when a lower end model elbow pad in the same line could've easily done the job just as well, I just had more money in my pocket at that time.

If you want to stick with the 8K see if your shop can cut off the forearm protection for you. I've had several equipment repairs done by Tobi at Cyclones on Oak/49th and it's always been quality work at a reasonable price.
