I recently put down the known weights, my impressions and soem side by side comparisons of both boots. Hopefully it might help someone looking at a purchase in the future.

Wow thanks for the insight Dane!

some of that info combined with the price difference of finding some 5s on clearance may put me in a 5 rather than a 6 this winter

Much appreciated for the link correction. :)

Hope the info helps on the decision making.

Interesting (and logical) comparison with the One.

Also I bought the lone pair of size 28 tlt5 yesterday from backcountry and then today they RAISED the price and moved them to the outlet which i found kinda strange

I think I am going to take the plunge on the TLT6 if someone takes the TLT5s off of my hands. Skied them a fair amount at demos last seasons and I think I'll like the bit of improved ski performance. The wild card will be how much will I miss the metatarsal flex. I know I really liked it a lot on flat skinning approaches but since I live in the Wasatch and not the Tetons I don't experience the flats all too often.

Anyway if someone wants my old TLT5s they are priced to move.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
