looking at new boots

I've been riding in Hyperlite Split boots and have had a good experience with them except they are pretty hard to get in and out of. Being in my 50's and having bad cartilege everywhere I hate to waste my energy fighting with the boots. I've only come out of them a few times when crashing and they seem responsive enough. Also, my feet don't hurt once in them. So all I'm really looking for is the ease of entry and exit thing. I looked at CWB Zeus with the hinge-tech dodad and it is super easy to get in and out of, but the boot seems to be in two sections, foot and ankle, so that the ankle support in the flexion and extension directions is virtually non-existent. It seems like that could really affect my stability on the water. Has anybody had any experience with the hinge-tech system or problems with loose ankle support? Any other easy in and out bindings that don't involve the Boa system which seems to break alot and need fiddling or repair kits laying about everywhere just in case?
