Scarpa Magic vs. Star lite

[woodchips]

I'm trying to convince my girlfriend to drop some $ on a new pair of AT boots (ones that fit, to replace some that don't.)

 

She tried on the Scarpa Star Lite, which seem like a good fit (hard to really tell with heating them) and I'm wondering how they compare to the Magic, which they seem to be replacing. You can pick up the magics pretty cheap on sierra trading post right now.

 

Even in a women's boot, most of the boots are tight in the calves for her. Seems like a moldable liner is the way to go?

 

Any other suggestions? We tend to mostly do easy to moderate touring and ski mountaineering stuff, and comfort/fit/weight is more important than performance.
