Shakespeare 8' Galaxy 5225XT or 5225XP

Either of these is a good choice for about $125

I had Digitals until a little accident with a bridge. I replaced them with Comrods and have been very pleased with their performance.

Not sure if the xt or xp but one is silver other is copper wire/shield.
The silver is much better.
Just replaced one of mine.

FWIW, the Galaxy 5225XP is the one with the silver plated choke and what I use. . But Shakespeare now has a new "top of their line": Phase III series, and the 8'-er is #6225.
