This is my 2nd season on tele gear, 1st season with my own gear. I have BD Kilowatts and I'm looking at these boots and the BD O2 binding with a Rid-stiff cartridge. I'm 6'1'' and 260 and I've been told even though I'm not an extremely aggressive skier (yet), that I should go as stiff as I can just for my size. I skied last year with garmont ener-g's in a g3 targa binding mounted on an older pair of (definitely not tele specific) carving skis...is it a good idea to go with this setup or should I go another way?

Sounds like a great setup. The Custom is a crazy stiff boot, but I agree that you have a lot of weight to throw around and should probably use stiff gear. That whole setup you described complements each other fantastically, nothing will overpower any other aspect. If you've got the $1500, go for it.
