Default RE: DA-50?????????PROPS?????PROPS??????

How about a 23x8 for 3D flying? This size prop sounds like it would give great pull-out during hovering and acceptable downline braking yet not overworking the motor and still getting good rpm's. Though this size prop is a bit harder to find. What do you guys think?
I think the Mejzlik 23x8 prop would be a very good choice for the DA-50 and IMAC-3D. Anyone tried it?

1)TBM sell it for 49$/each

2) MSC offer a wood 23x8 prop now. It is less louder than Menz props and cheaper & lighter than Mezlik for 31$/each..

I am going to use a 22x8 Menz for the breakin and switch to Mejzlik 23x8 after 4 gallons for my DA-50. In the meantime, i would be very interested to know what kind of RPM the 23x8 gives on the DA50?
