I'm getting a new pedal, I'm between the dw 5000 Accelerator or the dw 8000, I'm looking for speed and durability,

Which one should I buy?
 
I have the 8000... love it. Just gotta replace the spring every year due to breaking, but that is probably universal between all the pedals.
 
The probem I have with the 8000/9000 is that when you really get it going, the massive cam hits the footboard, and I fet like the size of the cam got in the way a bit. I owned the 8002 for a coupe of days, but I returned it. Felt too bulky compared to my Yamahas.

Out of the two, I woud go for the 5000, they are tried and true.
 
I have the 8000... love it. Just gotta replace the spring every year due to breaking, but that is probably universal between all the pedals.

Funny, I've had my DW5000 for about five years now and I've never once had to replace the spring.
