Tele boot suggestions

Dammit Joe...

Sigh. I'm going to go check the gutters for dropped dollar bills.

Must resist temptation to buy NTN gear....Must resist Temptation to buy NTN gear...
The urge to buy new gear and try new stuff is my Kryptonite I get weak and my mind goes blurry and the next thing I know I have a new set of gear in my hands.
...I'll just go to Marmot and try the gear on and see how it feels- it can't hurt.
What Rottefella has a deal that if you buy an NTN boot set and new NTN binding you can get $100 Visa Cash card by mail in rebate.
Man the Scarpa TX pro fits pretty nice and I can get last years model about $150 off retail and it I buy the binding I get a package deal and reduced binding cost.
It looks like it will work pretty well with my dynafit set up too, the boots come with a pair of shims that fit in the slot for the ski crampons I never use. They are a stiff model of the F3.
KaChing, KaCHing done deal!
Bought from the good people at Marmot who helped out real nicely.
Great to buy early, get fitted and avoid the rush and save some dough. Good Rationalization in my mind.
Now to apply the $100 to a new set of fat skis 

I THOUGHT THIS WAS A THREAD TO HELP CHAMOIS GET A SETUP NOT ME!!!
(Rubbing my hands)...Can't wait for the snow to fly now!

You are completely out of control and require adult supervision. New AT boots, now NTN set up! Are you embezzling someone.. blackmail or what?

Scotty,  Another convert ? 

What do you mean by fat ? 

My 2 cents after about 100000000000000000 billion cents worth of tele gear purchases...

That's 10 to the 26th cents, or 10 to the 24th dollars. I think that's an official Guiness record... you can stop buying now. Until next year.

OKay, slight exaggeration! Still, if it's suggested that engagement rings are 2 months of your salary, I think it's fair to say I'm engaging to my love of skiing every year...hope she never says yes.

Really I think that I was "Roofied" and in my delusional state of mind could not resist the lure of the NTN system. The only way to get rid of temptation is to give in to it.
I have been living on meager means of overcooked porridge and celery stocks to justify the purchases. I may return the AT boots depending on how they feel compared to the TX-Pro.

It's all relative. Like when I tell someone that I have really gotten fat they look at me with skepticism.
But my thoughts on (ski) waist width are ranging from 98 to 105.
Logically since the NTN system is heavier and built to drive a ski I may go with a ski that leans to Crystals lift skiing conditions and some slackcountry. so 80 lift/20 slack. That means I don't have to go so light, but the beauty of the NTN system is that you can buy a plate and install it on another ski and interchange the binding system between skis. I'm trying to keep the skis around 8lbs, but I see that can be tough without spending big $, like DPS.
Lots of stuff gets axed because it gets over 9lbs a pair and I don't need that much weight on a ski.
That said qualifiers include (front runners first):
K2 Hardside 188cm-can handle the chop, hard stuff, mank and powder with power to boot. Nice features. Nice turn radius for tele. Downside-still have bitter taste from skiing the Coombas that have zero pop when loaded up.
G3 Zenocide-interesting A little lighter, wider under foot, less sidecut-Lousy company 60 day warranty, that is just stupid, maybe they don't trust their skis.
G3 Tonic-same BS as above little more beef.
Movement Jackle-has anyone skied these? They look great on paper.

To me-BD skis are either too stiff, too soft, to narrow with perfect flex, to floppy or to specialized.

G3's seem to be either to flimsy or to stiff, burly and boardy.

There is so much gear compared to years ago it's great.
