5 yd PV vs. 8 yd PV?

[Willie T]

I know I will always prefer quality heavyweight wool kilts over anything else, but I can think of so many scenarios where it would be good to have a PV kilt on hand. My question is for those who have experience wearing both 5 yard and 8 yard PV kilts. Physically I have an average to small frame so a 5 yard kilt on me is likely to be close to 5 yards and not 6 or 7 yards. I'm assuming that an 8 yard PV would hang better and perhaps swing better than a 5 yard PV even though it would be significantly lighter than a heavyweight wool kilt. My source for an 8 yard PV kilt would likely be Scotweb where I can currently order an 8 yard PV (Marton Mills) kilt for $230 which is only about $10 more than a 5 yard PV kilt from USA Kilts. Yes, the cost of shipping will be more coming from the UK, but if an 8 yard PV kilt hangs, swings, and looks better than a 5 yard PV kilt than I think it would be worth it. I'd love to hear some opinions from those of you who have compared 5 yard and 8 yard PV kilts and I would really like to see some photos if you have any.
