Easy.  Try them both on and see which one fits better.  Also, ask a boot fitter for help.

ski boots are meant for skiing, not jibbing.

if your shredding in gaper boots, expect your legs to hurt everywhere. shins, calves, heels, toes....

shin bang is a result of overextending the flex of the boot. and if you take apart a ski boot you'll see that all motion is restricted, even FTs.

if you cant ski hard enough to experience real shin bang, PLEASE, SHUT THE FUCK UP.

I think that you should try salomon's boots. Maybe Kaos. I've got ace of spades and they're pretty good. Their work nice especialy in BC.

great advice.
those boots are all so similar so it's really just luck of the draw whichever one fits you best.
also glad to see you're using your Ace of Spades for their intended use, backcountry.

spades are better than Kaos for BC becouse of buckles. take a look at pix of em. Spades keep your feet much better(the middle buckle)when your legs are leaning in powder. That makes em really comfortable. And Spades are a Park/BC boots.
