from what i know about it it is the same shell as the salomon course boot (i.e. world cup racing) with a small difference in the flex rating (i.e. softer) the liner is also completely different than the 1080. go to salomonsports.com and compare them yourself. the difference in canadian dollars can be up to $200 depending on where you go but in my opinion the added features are worth it.
