Ranked #276 - Alpine Touring Boots

I'm thinking about getting a pair of these boots. I currently use the Scarpa Tornado (25.5) and Scarpa Hurricane (26.0) for AT and alpine skiing (both Scarpa boots are the same shell size, 300mm). I know with Scarpa boots that the half size and next size up (like my 25.5 and 26.0) are the same size, and that Garmont works opposite (25.0 and 25.5 are the same size).
1) I'm wondering how Black Diamond does their sizing? Would a Mondo 26 work for me in the Factor? Or is it best to just get a professional boot sizing done to see what BD Factor shell would be best? I'm hoping a 26 would work.
2) Has anyone used both the Hurricane and Factor? How is the stiffness of the Factor compared to the Hurricane? Thanks!
