need a little help

hey guys...i got a pair of 190s about 3 weeks ago to replace my xxx. in the store, they felt very good, even before they were baked. i switched out the holder for the white so i wouldnt have to get used to the longer blade that apparently was difficult to get used to for some of my friends and got a forward radius on them to put me a little more on my toes. however, after 3 weeks, the skates just dont feel right. my forefoot is not locked well, and seems to be wiggling in the skate, and i went back to my xxx in my most recent skate (last night) and felt much better. long story short, i have a warranty thing with the store that allows me to trade the skate in a situation like this, and i am considering 3 options.

1. another pair of xxx

2. synergy 1500c (my brother has them and they seem to fit my foot well)

3. rbk 9k (wore a pair of my friend's that felt very similar to my xxx, altho im not sure if that was just an illusion from only wearing them for a short time)

i am most interested in the 9k, but i wanted to check with you guys here on the comparison of fit between the xxx and 9k, and maybe compared to the 190. anyways, thanks alot.

edit: also, how does the pitch of the 9k compare to the pitch of the xxx and the pitch of the 190?

I too have one90s and just didn't like the feel. I am trying on new skates tonight and will be trying on many pairs including those mentioned. I believe the 9k has a neutral pitch sort of like the one90s do. I agree w/ pat, if you like the xxx that much you should stick with them.

hmm, if the overall feel is wrong go back to the the xxx's, but i had a heel lift installed in my one90's cause i kept going back to my xxx's and now my one90's feel amazing. i'm more on my toes and i get that explosiveness i feel from the xxx's
