I'm looking to replace my 32 lashed that are probably 4-5 seasons old (ride from ~8-20 days/season). 90% Freeride.

Looking at last years 32 Focus Boa and Ride Insano Boa - can find both for same price. Sounds like the Insano's are quite stiff - I found the lashed to get loose and sloppy, but still comfy after a few seasons. Wasn't sure if the Insano's would be too stiff, or if the Focus would be a good step up in stiffness.
Wanting to go with a dual boa also for convenience. Got sick of laces feeling loose after a couple runs when I had just tightening the shit out of them putting them on!

Couldn't find much info on the 32 Focus. Plenty of good stuff on the Insano - stiff, but comfy and good, solid boot.

thoughts?
