The Okuma 8k is 743 grams.
Nice reel though and does have the tapered 45mm for casting.
If you're bothered by weight, try get the Obsidian.

Penn affinity, go for the 7000 size as the 8000 are far too big

Daiwa 23 Emblem 35/45 SCW QD Model 2024, sold my 14000 XTE for it, best decision ever.

And I've done the exact opposite to you and think it's the best decision ever. That being said, in line with the budget quoted, 2nd hand Penn Affinities would be ideal, I have them on my other set of rods and in the years I've had them they've never missed a beat

Would Shimano Ultegra 14000 xtd Reels be worth a look?
Seen some used sets of those go for 250-350
