Full tilt Booter vs High five

hey guys. I'm looking for a boot is a hybrid 50/50 all mountain/park ski. I have a wide foot and have narrowed my list down to:
The Booter
The High Five

They both fit the same and have the same comfort.

some questions I also have is will the high five have the same switch ability as the booter? do the weigh similarly? which one is stiffer (not including the tongue). I am an advanced expert. ski lots of diamonds, lots of trees and lots of park.

Thank you in advance for your personal thoughts and expertise.

I believe the shells are the same so the tongue would make the only real difference. Stiffer boot is better for all mountain / jumps imo

i'm a very aggressive freeride skier
i ride the das booters and the only reason i dont have the high fives is the booters were cheaper and in stock.
as an aggressive back country skier i wanted something that could support me in everyaspect but still have some play so i decided to go with the booter and get a stiffer tongue. i have flex 4 6 and 8 and i love them all for various reasons....
but youreally can't go wrong with either of those boots especially for having a wide foot
good luck man

nah, the narrow shelled full tilts have I believe 7 corrugations, while the wider ones have only 5. It's just a different design, but they aren't compatible.

Will the booter be good all around the mountain if I put a 6 tongue on? I got fitted for them
