Replying to Stoko knee brace??

I'm coming off an acl tear and I'm cleared to ski once December arrives, but I switched insurance twice this year and I found out that since my injury occurred before I switched to my current insurance, they won't cover the cost of my knee brace and I have to pay retail price for it, which is like $800. Sucks but it is what it is. However, I have seen a lot of stuff about the stoko knee brace online over the past year or so and I was wondering if anyone has any experience using it. I'm still leaning towards getting the custom brace my surgeon recommended, but the fact that the stoko brace offers protection for both legs and that it's super low profile is intriguing.
