Choosing new skates, bauer vs rbk

[Poirier4 0]

Hey guys I'm looking for some opinions on new hockey skates, My Vapor XXXX are really finished been using these since my second year in Junior AA and before that I had some Vapor XX and also had the Supreme one90 for 1/2 a season (which I hated but I hadn't taken wide enough D instead of EE)

Been looking at upgrading to the new Vapor APX2 or even the Supreme One Total MX3 and I know it would be an easy upgrade but I've been looking at the Reebok Ribcor 30k.

I wear 7.5EE in my Vapor XXXX

My mentality is that skates have gotten even better since my Vapor XXXX so anything I buy in the top or 2nd quality skates will be better than what I have. I'm a power staker very fast first couple of strides. What I'm affraid is the ribcor has a 13degree lean forward which is fine but how much degree do vapors have and I really like tuuk lightspeed holders.

anyways looking forward to your thoughts

Who told you Ribcores has a 13 degree fwd lean?

I assume this is what he's talking about, which I pulled from the product description on Hockey Monkey:

The other two elements of the agility profile that contribute to forward and backward flexibility are the boot cut and the 13° forward lean (RBZ is 10°, while current Tacks are 16°). Heel lock is achieved from a combination of a tapered fit in the ankle, the use of internal ankle foams, the Skate Lock feature and the Pump®.

Vapor have same total pitch as Reebok? I know vapor have more forward pitch then supreme about 1mm?
