Replying to Nordica Ace 3-star?

I've been skiing in a Full Tilt descendant 6 for a season and they're really comfy but I feel like my foot is swimming in them, and the 6 flex tongue is too soft (might swap for a 8 or 10 flex). Im also on my 2nd set of tongues because of the rivet issue they had and I don't really feel like e-mailing them to warranty a new set every month.

I was wondering how a Nordica Ace 3-star would compare. I know its a little narrower, but some help from anyone who has skied in them would be great. I think the 130/stiffer flex would be a little better for me since I spend most of my time on steeps or in the woods.
