T1 or T-Race? I am an expert level tele skier, 6' 210#, and ski in the Pacific NW mainly on Line Prophet 100s, but I also ski the Prophet 130s when the going gets really deep. I am mainly a resort and side-country skier, but I go cat skiing every year, and this yr my buddies finally have their act together and we will be doing some touring.
I have been on Garmont Ener-G's for the last 2 pairs of boots. Last yr's model gave out mid-season - they bulge out at the instep when I put pressure on the tongue. I have had the liners re-formed, but it has not helped.
I am leaning toward the T1's because they seem to be more versatile. Any comments?

T-Race! T-Race! T-Race! I also ski prophet 100s and prophet 130s, with Hammerheads, I' 6'2" and 170lbs. The lack of a touring mode only bothers me when skinning on flats, (uphill your legs are angled forward anyway), but the difference in performance is well worth it. The T-Race rips, especially with big skis like the 130's, and stiffer flexing skis like the 100s. DON'T get the T1, you'll be cheating yourself out of hard-charging grin-inducing turns.
