Replacing Trango Tech

I'm going to be replacing my trango techs and will be looking for something a little wider. Trangos just don't fit me anymore, now that I've been doing more extended hikes/climbs. I do use them for 3 season and light winter hikes (although cold with wind chill -40 is the coldest I've had them). My winter/ice boot is a Lowa Alpine Expert II.

I'm looking at possibly trying on the zodiac tech and charmoz HD.  Any other suggestions, and how do these compare to the trango tech?

zodiac tech is fairly comparable to the trango tech but definitely with a broader last.

 Charmoz is definitely a full on mountaineering boot so you would lose out on comfort on the approach and rock climbing ability but they are definitely a bit warmer and a whole lot better when wearing crampons or climbing snow/easy ice.

Ive liked the Ribelles a lot. More supportive than the trangos, climb well, HD version has been much more durable than the trangos

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
