If you don't want to get into "AT stuff" for backcountry use, then whatever alpine boot you choose is essentially immaterial. I assume you mean you will be using your regular alpine bindings and skis to access the backcountry, and you'll be hiking with the skis strapped to your back. In that case, your choice of alpine boot doesn't matter much, since none of them are particularly comfortable for hiking, and none have a grippy Vibram tread like an AT boot. The Full Tilts may be slightly better for this simply because they weigh less than a lot of other alpine boots, but they still suffer the same flexibility and traction limitations as the rest.
