I'm trying to decide between these two models:
the Salomon Pilot 9 Ti and the Rollerblade Lightning 03, although it is probably difficult to say which one is better then the other, could anyone please give me some input on this?? Also another question, is it worth spending the extra money for the Pilot 9 pro or lightning 05 and once again which of the these two are better? Thank you ^^...

You picked some good skates, so you can't go wrong.

They are quite similar and made to compete with each other. Only you will know which fit your feet best unfortunately as fit is a preference.

As for which is better, the one that feels best :) Not much of a help I know. The Light 03 frame can use 82mm wheels whereas the Pilot 9 Ti cannot. Other than that, pretty darn close.

On the Pilot 9 Pro vs Light 05, I personally like the Pilot 9 Pro better. The 84mm wheels are fun and fast and I like the fit. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the 05 though. You're not going to make a bad decision here, just a decision that works for you.

They ship FREE, so you can always ship out 2 or 3 pair and then send what you don't want back. That's always an options. You would be stuck with return shipping however.

Thanks,
