Salomon Impact 10 CS is tempting me - EpicSki Community

I'm currently in a pair of Salomon XWaves which have been a good boot for me.  I'm looking to buy new boots for next year.  There are some new Impact 10 CS boots on Ebay which are tempting me.   I've done some research here on Epic and elsewhere and here are my conclusions.

Are these conclusions correct?

Also, I'm hoping that the Impact is a little more upright than the XWave.  Is it?

Thanks.

for the CS shell:  just go ski it, and see if you need to change the shell shape first.   Not that hard to do at home, and heating the shell CAN solve some problems, but it is not a magic bullet that will cure everything.  might want to talk to a boot fitter, and see if that is the right solution to what ever problem you are having.

go buy them, go ski them, good luck, hope it works.
