I like the EH8. It is a lightweight and compact stock with a short forend (no longer than I can use) and a high comb. I am proficient at shooting with it. I think the advantages of vertical grips are over-stated on the internet; there probably is some advantage in some positions but I think it's a 3% optimization level of improvement, not a must-have 30%.
I might be wrong - but it also is highly dependent on the activity being undertaken. For hunting I don't think stock design is a big driver of shot success. For getting from top 10 to top 5 in PRS, sure, you might want all the optimization available.
I'll be exceedingly happy if I can get mid-pack consistently in matches with this setup. If I can ever make it to some
