OK, just got back the boot king, billy kaplan. We chatted about where and what I am skiing now and he agreed that the S11 is a more appropriate choice. This is a really nice boot. It fit right out the box, with no fitting other than the adjusting the cuff. The new orthodic he made is fantastic and has a little bit more volume so this boot seems just right. It comes with the insert that reduces volume and drops the width from 103 to 100. Right now, I am fine, I find that i don't need the boot to be very tight as my foot feels so solid on the bottom of the boot. We also took out the built-in spolier out and I am so much more upright. It will be interesting to see if its too much when on the snow. The other thing I liked was the balance of the boot. The Atomics were great but these just feel much more stacked over my arch.  The boot has less of a rise to it, meaning its not as raised up off teh ground as the race style boot. Only snow time will tell.
