actually, @j ingevaldsson , maybe you can write an article on how to get "remote" fitting right (or less likely to be wrong), I would think that's super useful

Maker's can't even agree on what a 8.5uk is. Would be even more difficult to get that remote fitting
right across the various makers.
As Jesper mentioned though, rough guidelines can at least reduce the chances you'd receive a 6.5uk ?.

how much is trial shoe again (don't think I need it, though I might think about making my Huang's heel slightly tighter, so maybe worth a trial shoe on that?)

I think it was like $225 including the one time last modification fee and shipping for mine so something like $185 without the modification?

Might just be worth it, though I haven't got any real wear out of mine, so probably too early to say...
