Replying to Beginner Touring Boots

Planning to start touring this season and looking for advice on a first boot.
For resort skiing, I have been on a pair of Salomon S/Pro 120s for the past five years and love them.
Since I'm new to backcountry but I have a pair of resort boots I'm wondering if I'd be better off with a 50/50 boot, or if it would be better to go for a true touring boot. I'm having a hard time deciding since I'm really not sure how much of a sacrifice a true tour boot would be on the downhill.
Thanks for any advice.
