Dalbello Fusion or KR 2 Pro.

I'm about to buy some new boots - Dalbello, because I can get them for cheaper - but just need some input since my knowledge of boots has diminished over the years. I've skied for about 16 years and consider myself quite an aggressive skier; steeper the better. I've previously been using some Techicas with a flex of 100/110 which are probably a little bit too soft, but pparently the flex ratings of boots differ from manufacturer-to-manufacturer.

So, the main thing I'm concerned about is the flex of each boot: the Fusion is 120 and the KR 2 Pro is 130.

Is 130 to stiff? Will it be overkill? or will 120 not be stiff enough? or will it be perfectly sufficient? I've tried both boots on in shop and feel good, but I have no idea what they'll be like to ski with - which is the most important thing.

Any info/input would be immensely helpful,

Thanks.

If you find a 100/110 stiff from technica your going to find both those boots very stiff with the standard setup. But more importantly have you been fitted for them, do they actually fit you, they fit pretty differntly to most technicas. Just because they are cheap does not make them the right boot. Do yourself a favour go get fitted and base your choice on what fits, not what you can get cheap
