Rossignol Electra 100 boots?

I got this off the ABB website
"ROSSIGNOL ELECTRA PRO (98 MM. 100 FLEX)
Powerful skiers with longer legs looking to crush whatever snow and terrain lies before them have found a boot in the Electra Pro, according to the women's test team reports. Tall cuff, tall tongue, and heaps of power to the edge as well as beefy fore-aft support are the hallmarks of this all-mountain tool. Testers mentioned the Rossi family ease of fit over the midfoot and instep, and some suggested that the low-waisted (low instep) foot might work great in a size down if a skier found herself in between sizes and able to go smaller. Our shorter legged testers with muscular calves didn't flinch--they claimed five star performance marks as well--but a couple mentioned they might want their bootfitter (ABB, of course) to reduce the cuff height or flare out the top of the cuff a touch."
Correct me if I'm wrong, boot gurus, but the Rossi and Lange higher-end shells use the same mold for the feet, right? They have slightly different cuffs (and colors, of course), but I think they use the same lower mold. (Although one claims a 97mm last and the other a 98mm last, not sure about all that.) So you could also do some research on those -- I think the equivalent must be the Lange Exclusive 100 LV?
anyway, sounds like you've found a great boot! That's always a relief.
