In pedal purgatory...

Have a bike that is FULL 5800 105, including the pedals.

Damaged a pedal, the OCD in me is telling me to order new ones. I would like another set of 5800s, but they are hard to find from reputable (meaning non-ebay) sources where I don't have to worry about buying fakes since they are discontinued.

I found a set of 5800s for $115.

But I could also get 7000s for $68, or 8000s for $101.

What say you? It's hard to justify the 5800s when they cost more than 8000s, but I like the consistency and uniformity of having the 5800s. I also prefer the black spindles on the 5800s since all my running gear is black, not sure why Shimano changed the spindles to silver/chrome on the newer stuff. Even 7000s are technically a better pedal and barely more than half the price, so the 5800s seem like an awful value proposition...
