Full Tilts, Magic Jacket, and pants, what's the word?

I was fitted for a size 26.5Hotdogger last year.  I didn't have much money then, but the shop tech was more than happy to help me out.  For this year I was wondering if I should get this year's model, or last years'.  Colors don't mean anything to me, and last years' are close to half the price, but is there anything special about the 09-10 model that makes it worth the cost?

Also, does anyone know of some pants that would go well with the magic suit?  I loved the look of Saga in blue, but it is all sold out.  I have done some searching but I can't seem to find a nice match.  If anyone can dig me up some blue pants that match the magic color, or purple pants that match the arm color, let me know.

Wow, I knew they had a green jacket but not purple pants.  I still want to look at other pants because the jacket is expensive enough, it would be nice to find a $100 pair.

Yeah, I think I'm set on last years' Hot Doggers.  The only thing the new ones seem to have is a cable cover.

$250 for boots!  That's less than my last pair of boots, and these will actually fit me!

Ahh, I see that.  My research says the '09s are a 6, and the '08s are a 4.  I would want a 4 anyways, I have been skiing in a size 28 spk for 2 years, so a 4 is just as soft, but I can control it a lot better.

yellow pants look dope with the magic jacket as well
Mr. Bishop was rocking SMS Riddler pants with his and it was so dope, Red would be cool too
but purple is probably the most matchy so to speak

is size 7 a 26.5 like you said fit you?  and If 7 is one smaller it still may work if your toes had a fair amount of room in a size bigger.

Thanks for the research.  I did find hotdoggers for $250.  The model A pales in comparison in all aspects, so $100 more for a boot that I will use indeterminately is great.

the cable cover is only for style and to keep idiots from putting the cables in the wrong grooves. definitely get the 08's
