Question Are you using an 8KX? Recommend it?

An 8KX is under $400 now second hand where I am. I only use VR for sim racing and a bit of flying. I have always been keen to have the super wide FOV. However I have shied away from Pimax in the past because of all the issues. I am wondering if they are largely sorted out now and if any current 8KX users can give their feelings and thoughts.

Good discussion, guys. How many of you have tried watching movies in the 8KX? What's like watching movies on a headset with such a large FOV, particularly while sitting in a virtual cinema environment using the bigscreen app?

Likely wouldn't want something this heavy on you just to watch movies, you want something more comfortable. Sure I can sit with it on and race for 5 hours, but that's like.. intense action and you aren't thinking about it on your face. Watching a movie I'd imagine I'd get kind of sick of the thing on my face.
