Ronix Ones or Cells or LF Shanes or Watsons?

Returning my CWB AA's and need new bindings. Have narrowed it down to these 4 I think. If my research is acurate, sounds like Ones and Shanes are mid-level stiff/flexible and Cells and Watsons are stiffer. Looking for thoughts and recommendations on these. I generally like a stiffer boot, so I am leaning Cells or Watsons. AA's were too loose for me. Had to go back to my 2009 CWB Answers when AA's broke, and they were stiffer and liked them much better. Giving up on the all velcro option (although per my other thread, like LF Vantage).

Anyway, thoughts and recommendations would be much appreciated.

I love my shanes but can't stand the insole coming up every single time I take the bindings off. It seriously gets quite annoying!

Also, Shanes are a bit more on the flexible/soft side. The 2010's I have are def stiffer than previous years but still have a nice amount of flex to them.

Go with the Cells, they are my favorite bindings to date. Very supportive and super comfortable once broken in. I didn't heat mold mine and it took about 6 sets to fully break-in and mold to my foot.

I own the 11' Watsons and awaiting my 12' Shanes. Have experience with Ronix 11' Ones, comfortable but my watsons def have more support and go higher on my ankle. Watsons are stiffer than Shanes, my Sovens were a medium between the 2. Dont get 10' Shane LTD (everyone I know and myself had issues with their lace system)

I tried on the Cells, felt nice but just liked my Watson LTD better.

I rode the cells for two years. Great boots just a little too stiff for my personal preference. I went the other way and now ride the Releks and I love them.

10' Watsons and 11' Shanes? You must be a giant! ;-)

I love the ones, best boot ever. Super lite, super comfortable, and the perfect mix of flex and support. But definitely heat mold them.

One's all the way. Mine didnt even need heat molding. Perfect right out of the box.
