Sizing for Tenaya Tarifa vs. Anasazi VCS

Looking for some sizing feedback for the Tenaya Tarifa.  I've pretty much exclusively worn various Five Ten Anasazis my entire climbing life, but am looking to branch out.  I wear an Anasazi VCS size 9.5, street 10-10.5. Haven't found first hand accounts for this switch, but comparison tools are suggesting an 8.5 in the Tarifa.  Sounds like they run big and I'm all for a performance fit, but seems like they might be really tight.  Anyone have sizing experience with these two shoes?

this is correct they run pretty big, i wear a 9 in anasazi blue and i have a 8 in tarifa, they are tight but fit like a dream when broken in.

I've also owned both shoes and the Tarifas run way big. 8-8.5 in Anazasi's, 7 in Tarifas (very tight). Love the tarifas, had them resoled multiple times.

8.5 it is.  Thanks fellas.
