Can anybody comment on how the TN pro fits in comparison to the old blue 5.10 hi-angle?

Just sent in my Up Moccs to be resoled with C4. I've been looking forward to this ironic day for a long time.

Chiming in with my experience ordering from Unparallel directly. I saw the warning signs and ignored them—they really are slow with fulfilling orders, and my order for a pair of Up Moccs has sat unprocessed since it was originally placed on 11/30. Several emails sent to them in the ensuing weeks have gone ignored. I've since bought the shoes I wanted from Backcountry Gear, which gets a +1 from me; two days door to door. Zero complaints. The shoes are great and worth the trouble, but I'm sad to say I'll be filing a claim on the unfulfilled order. They have no business doing direct to consumer sales.

Speaking of comp style climbing, has anyone tried the Souped Up? I’ve been very interested in trying those and the TN pros out myself.

I find they fit similar to the Flagship, but much easier to get on with the split tongue. They are very soft and have quite thin rubber, I find them to be a great modern bouldering shoe. Quite different to the TN Pro which I prefer for climbing routes as they are better for edging.

I took a chance and made the leap and bought directly with Unparallel. Have to say I wasn't optimistic. I am so happy and I love these upmoccs so far (haven't climbed in them yet, am just wearing around the house to break them in a tiny bit). 

They feel and size very similar to the old 5.10 moccs. I wear a street size 10.5 or 11 depending on the shoe and ended up going for the 9.5 even though I wore a 9 in the old moccs. It's hard to say how they will settle but the 9.5 might be the same as the old 9 or it might actually be bigger, will have to see, but holding them up heel to heel makes me think they'll be comparable. I'll post a pic once I figure out how.
