Alverstone II vs Schnees Beartooth

[waldo9190]

Hi all, curious if anyone has tried both the Alverstone II and Schnees Beartooth? I've been pretty much set on a new pair of Beartooths OR Timberlines, as my Kenetrek HS hikers are just too stiff. I'm curious on how the Alverstone stacks up against the Beartooth in terms of fit and stiffness. With the current sale on Hanwags I'm having a hard time not considering giving them a try. Other boots that are high on my list are the Crispi Nevadas.

Don't have any experience with the Alverstone, but do have the Beartooth II that I got this past summer to replace my Kenetreks. Wonderful boot, a bit lighter than the Kenetrek Hardscrabble and very comfortable.

How would you say the stiffness compares between the Beartooths and the Kenetreks? From what i understand the Beartooths seem to have a bit more flex than the kenetreks, which is definitely the direction I want to go.
