Yes, @surfandski, I kind of guessed Chuck might have been the fitter you found.
I've skied Lange 26.5 boots for the past decade or so, and thanks to Chuck I still will: a few of my collection of RS 130s and RX 130s have been punched and ground to fit, and with more appropriate (& thinner) footbeds, and modified stock liners. The fit seems perfect - no pain or looseness, at least with a couple of hours in them here and there around the house. This is option # one. Makes me want to dance.
(And the zipfits into the RS & RXes will be option #3 - especially for the RXes, which seem to get too soft after a season or so.)
(P.S. That Lockwoods, U.K. store in England really does sell tubes of zipfit stuffing for less, around $7 to $8 per tube or so. The shipping is about the same as from the East Coast, thanks to international agreement. I got a bunch of em when I got my Grand Prix there.)
