Some very good info here and, like you'll see often on here, if you're looking for a new club then make sure you get a proper fitting. Ryebread's got a good suggestion which is to look at the possibility of a higher lofted driver. I hit my 7 iron 150 - 155 yds, so similar to your 8 iron, and struggled with an old 3 wood off the tee. I went for a fitting on a new 3 wood and walked out with a Callaway Diablo Octane Black in 13.5* loft and haven't looked back since. I've got pretty much the same loft as a 3 wood, but the larger head gives me a lot more confidence on the tee box and a couple of minor swing changes with a help of some lessons and I'm not hitting it straight out to about 220 yds, leaving me in good range for my second shot. Something more to think about!!
