Oboe, why not go with a more upright boot. Perhaps you answered this when you said Lange's fit your foot. Still,  Head is making some very upright boots (RS 96 and RD 96) and it appears that next years new race boot the Raptor (3 flexes 120, 130 and 150 and 2 lasts 95mm and 99mm) will be even more upright than the current RS/RD boot.

It is also easier to add forward lean in a boot than to take it away. I needed some more in my Head RS 96 boots and it is very easy to do (adding a velcro attached spoiler gave me the amount I wanted and needed). Most seem to struggle reducing lean and ramp angle on Lange and Tecnica boots.

Just my $.02. JB.
