yeah not a very good boot fitter if you prefer one brand over another. each brand fits a foot and a style of skiing. Not everyone is gonna fit into a dead money nor is any one boot more "effective" as a park boot. It's 90% fit 10% preference. You like a soft boot great go soft, you like something rigid through the ankle great, but if it doesn't fit your foot correctly it means fuck all.
fit first. brand second.
and yeah I put people with low volume feet and narrow ankles in FT cause it will fit them better. And that is only if they want a three piece boot. If someone has a 98mm foot a 101 last is not going to fit them well at all which takes the dead money and ace of spades out of the running.
fit first. brand second.
