Can anyone compare the BD Factors, The Scarpa Typhoons, and the Garmont Shaman or Endorphin? Is there a big difference besides personal fit that I should look at? I am looking for a boot that will charge both in bounds and out of bounds while being a great climbing boot for AT. Not worried about weight.

from what i read and hear (no first hand experience): the typhoon is softer than the factor. the endorphin and factor are on par in terms of stiffness. the bd and scarpa seem to work with a narrow foot, the garmonts are better for wider feet.
