Full tilt boot question

Tried on a friends full tilts. loved em. So ive narrowed it down to the konflicts, the classic, or the high five, or possibly even hot doggers. But i ski 60 - 70 % pow (from treeskiing/pillows to bigger mountain steep lines) and 40 - 30 % park. (both rails and jumps). So which one would you all suggest for me to purchase?

get the classic and then get a few different tongues so that you can change the flex. the classic comes with the 6 flex (same as the hot dogger) so get the 8 or 10 flex for big mountain stuff. The only difference between the boots are the colors, the tongue flexes, and the liners (but all the boots your looking at have the pro liner) the only think that you'll miss is the active boot board of the hot dogger, but I don't think you notice to much in the park.

Then couldnt i just get the doggers and buy an 8 and 10 flex tounge? and also would an 8 tounge be miserable in park?

i have a pair of konflicts for sale, worn 2 times, last seasons. Dont stink, heat molded once, so good for 2 or 3 more heat fits, all hjardware included in new box, and #4 and #8 tounges included.

pm me.  sick boot, just didn't fit my heel properly.

certainly, the classic is just cheaper, that's why I said that one. I don't think an 8 would be miserable, esp if you're doing a lot of jumps, but the softer ones feel better when you mess up.

Well as much as i would love to recomend my beloved red hot doggers,

i must say that if you ski that much pow and only a tad bit o park you should prolly go for classics or seths if you reconsider your options
