Which Nordica boot?

Good day.

Been shopping for a new 110-ish boot primarily for on-piste use - this is the selection I ended up with:

- 2015 Nordica Dobermann 120 - tried it on in store, very snug fit, great heel hold, shell test <15 mm, can be softened to 110
- 2017 Nordica Dobermann GP 110
- 2016 Nordica GPX 110

The GP and GPX are both web deals, did not have a chance to try them on. So, a bit of advice from someone familiar with past/present Nordica lineups will be much appreciated:

- Can I expect GP/GPX to have exact same fit as the Dobies?
- Do GP/GPX offer any groundbreaking technologies that would make the Dobies hopelessly obsolete?
- Are GPX Primaloft liners warmer than the "race" liners which come with GP/Dobies?

About myself: target Mondo size is 260. Thin calves, huge instep. My other boot is Dalbello Fusion.

Thx, Vlad

Dobermann's are cold, go with the GPX for the warmer liner. Great boot if the instep works for you, you'll feel every snowflake!

GPX is a great boot. If you're sold on a 110-ish boot, look at the Speedmachine, also.

Just a little less "race" to it than the GPX, IIRC.
