there's no difference between the 2010 and 2011 SPK pro, best advice is to go to a boot fitter and try a pair on

spks and full tilts are such different boots, if you have a good fit in one, the other isn't going be for you.

ya its never good when you buy a boot for looks. It shouldn't ,matter what it looks like just so it fits properly and is the right boot for what you ski.  I got the SPK Pro because it fit me best and I wanted the extra stiffness when I wasnt skiing the park and I weigh 175

If you liked spks then full tilts should be too narrow for you. But if full tilts really fit you well then don't buy spks again. If you want something similar (sort of) to the spk but a little more snug fitting and a much better stance check out the shoguns. They are more than soft enough for park and snug enough for outside the park. And while it sounds goofy and irrelevant the one thing I love about salomons is the shock absorber shit in the heel, when I used boots without that for a little while I realized it actually does a lot.
