The less expensive ones at http://www.backcountry.com/store/GAR0153/Garmont-Elektra-Telemark-Ski-Boot-Womens.html have a tag which says "Elektra Mg G-Fit" are different from these (sku GAR0223) in several ways. On the cheaper MGs (sku GAR0153) - The buckle levers are different. (I'll post photos) - It says "Elektra Mg" on the exterior toe of the boot. The boot on this page says only "Elektra" on the toe. - The ski/walk lever on the back is different then the boot on this page. - The liners are thermofit but look different than the boot on this page. Sorry I personally can't tell you which is better! :) I can only tell you what is different. But I'll bet a Backcountry Gearhead would know the answer. Photos to come.
