Sure enough, I read your post before the final edits and just circled back here to give you an update! I’m rolling the dice and just ordered the 8" special from SleepEZ. After speaking with Shawn, I went with the 2" Talalay Soft on top, then Medium Dunlop, then Firm Dunlop–with the 2 bottom layers split. He suggested the split in order to give me the flexibility to play around more with the layers to dial in to the best feel. Fingers crossed!
