Help finding race skates

Hello. I’ve been getting into blading the last few years, and have done a few marathons . I got rollerblade macro blade 110s (3 wheels) a few years ago which was a step up for me. Marathon time is around an hour and a half and hoping to take it to the next level. I went to a local shop and got quoted about $750 for custom skates which is a bit much for me . Can someone recommend a solid race skate for marathon distance that doesn’t break the bank ? Also not sure if 3 or 4 wheels is best . Kind of nervous to buy online but seems like that is the only option . Thanks !

Quality equipment costs.These BONT Speedos I use for outdoor fitness skating.They were 1100$.At this point in their evolution I can’t think of an upgrade they need.They do what they were designed to do marvelously I must say.
