In general I try to avoid inviting. The invite gives information to the opposition and gets us to silly contracts like 2NT and 3♥. Thus I try to narrow my invite range as much as possible, either bidding game or passing.... so basically my invite is a "good 8 to a bad 9" and I would pass with most 8s and force game with most 9s. This doesn't quality as a good 8 for me; in fact I think it is a slightly below-average 8. Pass.
I love this way of thinking.
This also protects you from some nasty doubles in a game contract after an invitation auction, which they would never do if you blast game since you can be much stronger than what you have. As well as some rare but possible partscore doubles.

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."
