Size 240 Risport RF3 Pro blade size?

I'm planning to get the RF3 Pros in size 240, and I'm really hoping to use my current Ultima Legacy size 8 3/4 blades with them. Currently skating on Edea Chorus size 240.
The official 2024 catalogue seems to indicate it's the correct size, but it also says it's aimed at MK/John Wilson blades.
Basically every other chart (online pro shops etc.) indicates I need a size 9 or 9 1/4 blade. I also know that Edeas generally have shorter blades due to how they're constructed.
I've sent an email to Risport asking for clarification, but have not gotten a reply yet.

If there's anybody here with this setup I'll really appreciate your input - I've read in previous threads that you can measure sole length and deduct 1/4" to determine blade size, so if anyone's able to do it it would be great as well.

Thank you!

Leaving an update in case anyone else will need the information:
I can confirm that 240 Risport RF3 Pros sole is only around 1/10" longer than the Edea Chorus sole of the same size, measuring at roughly 9.1", so the catalogue recommended blade length of 8 3/4 is good.
Conclusion is that the blade length chart seems to be reliable.

I was fitted for RF3s yesterday and got 8 3/4 blades on my size 230. Idk if this helps in any way!
