I'd say either boot would be good for 50/50... Dave, the Endorphin is not an overlap boot like the Radium, so tough to compare apples to apples. I’d say either boot would be good for 50/50…

Resort use, packed powder in bounds. I am pleasantly surprised by the performance of this boot. I worked it inbounds on a stiff slalom ski and found it to be soft but not unmanageable. When encountering icy conditions it became sloppy and unable to drive an edge well, but it was not intended to be race boot. Twice I popped the top buckles. It was extremely comfortable out of the box without any customization (yet), and the warmest boot I have worn in some time. This will fill the niche I intended for it (race course work, mostly out of skis). Looking forward to pacing it in the backcountry to see if it can handle my Line 100's. I weigh in at 200lbs and stand 6'4". This boot is a little too soft for my likes and I will seek a burlier 4 buckle model for increased edge control next pair. Will marry for money!

They worked great! excellent all day comfort. Strong enough to drive my 189 Rossi squads in the resort or out in the backcountry. I skied the Agents all last year.
