Having read more on this and having looked at the skates in person it definitely doesn’t look like Vizion is the new Tacks. It’s new 100k.
they are less stiff than tacks, and have less padding.
McKinnon switched from 100k to Vizion.
The toe cup is padded, overall skates feel very nice!
$1500 CDN is a lot of money for the retail skate.
and the shim is 6mm - massive!
