2018/9 season update. I now have at least 40 days on the 120's including 13 days this season. The liners have not broken down and the boot still performs very well. I have enjoyed the comfort of this boot immensely. its quite warm and recently skied almost 4 hours at single digit temps without heaters.
Power strap and Hotronic battery holders: I had my heaters put back into the boot for really cold days and discovered the stock power strap doesn't allow enough space f you have thin calves when cranking down the strap. I switched to a WC Booster strap which revolved the issue and also discovered that although the stock strap is probably the best stock strap out there, there's no substitute for a Booster. The Booster just provides better contact and better feel.
Flex: I was on Lange 130 RX's which were stiffer than the 120's but I find the Recons 120 to be adequate. I could use a 130 for ripping' groomers but the softer feel in the bumps and off-piste is really nice and for those who don't need to crush it all day, the 120 is plenty.
Spoilers: I added in the spoilers last season and really suggest that all skiers give them a try. the 12* is too upright and this just helps maintain a more natural and balanced position. I just put a set back into anfriends's Lange RX's and he is loving the change in body position. he struggles with a stacked posture and this really helped.
