I have out climbed my la sportiva mythos and am looking for a reasonably priced shoe with a lot better edging and steep route power. Are the Galileo's good for these or should I just spend the extra money and go with the Miuras? I have only climbed in vibram rubber but have heard a lot of good things about the stealth. Is there really that big of difference?

alot of the rubbers are so similar, I have a hard time telling the difference between stealth, vibram and trax these days! Galileos are great for edging, but I don't think they are a good steep route shoe. The muiras might suit you better. You can also try some evolvs, like the Pontas (a little softer) and the Evos, which I truly love for almost everything, and they won't cost nearly as much. Good Luck!

Honestly, if you have liked the Mythos stick with La Sportiva. If you want to try something else then go with the 5.10s. However, don't compare Miura and Galileo, compare Katana and Galileo or Anasazi lace-up and Miura. Good Luck!
