Well, as they say, you can't get everything. If you're prepared to pay for the short fun, go ahead. I myself am going back to La Sportiva's Miura VSs (which is an excellent shoe forgetting that the front velcro attachment tears off after a while =) and consider trying 5.10 Dragons out....

I'm with you on the durability issue. DONT buy these shoes if you climb more than once a week. I've only had these shoes for about a month and a half and i am now edging on the tips of my bare big toes. but if you have the $$$ for a new pair every month they'd be sweet.
