skate comparisons

I currently skate in graf 705's but am considering a switch to Reebok 9K's. Am I going to notice big differences in stiffness/pitch /fit etc? The grafs are 13R while 9Ks are 13DA.Way back I had the old 451 supertacks and they were a good skate till they finally wore out.

Grafs tend to be pitched much more forward than RBKs, though yours might be somewhat different after years of skating/sharpening.

Can I get 9K's pitched like my grafs at my local pro shop?

They should be able to do it.

How do the Rbk 9k's fit? I have no LHS where I am (Hawaii) and I'm also thinking about switching. I'm currently in Graf 705's 8.5W, but I have heard Rbk's tend to fit a half-size down from Grafs, meaning I would need a size 8. Any truth to this? Any help would be appreciated.
