I make my own with two rhombus ones side by side which gives four escapes. Works a treat!
 
I am as above : split rhombus to get more bang for your buck...
 
Not used 8 way but the difference between rhombus and porter is significant. Looks like JBM has given me another thing to try next year !
 
I've had one on for over a week once (forgotten whilst loading up a truckload at an out apiary) and no bees returned although, I have observed that with just a conventional centrally located rhombus, the bees will start to find their way back in after a day or two.
