As always, email me with any questions,

Thanks for letting me know. And so that you know, whichever representative I spoke to on the phone back in January assured me that the 8" wheels DO have the new revision rollers. This was months ago, so I assume the rep isn't giving that info anymore. We likely would have gone with the 6" had I known.

And it's important to mention, then, that the feedback I gave about the rollers becoming wobbly was about old version rollers, not new ones. I would edit my old post, but it has been too long.
