Need a bunch of help.

There are some cheap Bauers on clearance these days and I am looking at Bauer. Always been Bauer and always will, I think.

I am looking at the following:
Bauer Supreme One70
Bauer Vapor XXV

Can anyone compare/contrast these skates for me? Just playing wing in a Calgary rec league, pretty competitive. I'm in my mid-20's but haven't bought new skates since Midget. I should add I have a slow first stride and not exactly breakaway speed.

From what I have seen/read, the Supreme's are more designed for a power stride such as a defenseman, while the Vapors allow for better control and turning, ect.

Sportchek has some Vapour XXV's on clearance as they are discontinued, but online retailers have some wicked deals on the X:30, which I THINK replaced the XXV's but I cant find confirmation.
