okay a couple things, mission has the lightest boot on the market (other than converted ice boots) tour is a very nice boot, not as stiff as a mission boot, but very solid. Tour is heavier by about 50 grams. I already weighed the top of the line mission boss black and the top of the line tour. Also the reason why the missions are a "forward stance" in frost91's post is cause they have the HI-LO chassis so all your big wheels are in the back, and the smaller ones in the front, its suppose to give you a little more of an "edge" the tour skates give you a Hummer chassis which is 80mm wheels all the way around, i found that the hummer gives you a lot more speed but cutting and turning is a little less responsive.

and frost, just a question did you bake the tours? cause for all the newer inline's it is recommended that you bake the boot to your foot

v1nce: I have converted both my one90's and my rbk 9k's into rollers, and have no problems what so ever... i think my rbk 9k's feel a lot better than the one90's... my rbk 9k's have a sprung chassis and the one90's have the mission vanguard chassis. the 9k skate feels much more like an ice skate, and i do think the sprung chassis helps with that..
