I suppose it depends on your play and your ATK, but in general terms I see a major problem with that. If cost is a concern, there's plenty of amazing deals online - new or used. I haven't bought goalie equipment in Calgary in years.

There's some old discussion of a similar topic here.
So my original question was posed in May before I ordered my new gar.

I ended up ordering a 31+2 and it's perfect for me. I have no issues with not landing on the knee block properly, or anything at all. I am very glad I chose to go with the height that I did. I can comfortably fit anywhere between a 30 and 32.
