What cartridge are you using with the P8? My Kuzma is now up for sale but the Dynavector XX2 (mk2) has definately seen better days, it's clocked up 1200 - 1500 hours and is sounding dull. I was thinking of perhaps forgoing the Apheta 3 for something that is compatible with the Kuzma while I still have it, and can transfer to a P8 or P10. If I was keeping the Kuzma I would be looking at a Hana ML but it may be a bit heavy for the Rega arm. One option is to trade in the XX2 against new and benefit from the 20% trade in, and I think I can also use it for a trade in against another Dynavector such as the 20x2. The other obvious choice is a Hana SL - good value apparently.
