If I use a 8"floatation on my denali evo snowshoe, would I be alright in fluffy, deep snow if I weigh just over 250#?

I think the tails for the EVO only come in 6 inch....the denali snowshoe has 4inch and 8 inch, and understand that the classic extensions don't fit the EVO shoe!Weighing 250 and fluffy deep snow is a tough combination. I have a pair of Tubbs Sierra snowhoes that they put the binding too far forward. I am critical of this because I like balanced flotation. MSR's mimic this by adding flotation to the tail. I love my Tubbs Katahdins and Yukons because they are balanced and give me a choice each day of a small or big snowshoe. If you want just one pair to reach for, then the MSR tail idea may be the way to go if you can stand sinking forward on flats and especially downhills. This particular model says sleek, so that may not be best for 250 pounds either.
