Send Lemming a PM, he's considering buying them and seems to have done quite a bit of research...

Research - not stricly true.  I was looking at them for a few reasons

1.  Similar boot to the Pilot Pro V (which I also have and is very comfortable)
2.  Directly superceded my MAg Elite 3s.  I think.
3.  Bigger wheels.

I know the boot will fit me.  They look like nice skates and CBR had them for 140..

All in all it looks like a good deal. I may be getting some next weekend (29th ish)  Happy to write some stuff if I do...

i found that the boot is a bit too soft - but fast and comfortable. New version has bigger wheels that 04 (what i have)

Warning
heelbreak not that effective untill it wears in a bit
