With that said BAUER and CCM have the best over all skates so i would assume down the line a cheap bauer or ccm is much better fitted and designed than a cheap Easton or Mission. I really cant say though ive only tried the upper level of each brands skate though.
If you wanna spend 200-300 on a skate i would go with what ever fits and feels the best. my guidence says start with Bauer or CCM, but at that price range i really dont know what the diffrence is when comparing them 2 other brands

Yeah it's about as non-competitive as you can get -- outdoor shinny and only a few times a year. You've scared me off Mission with that hippy comment and the Easton ones looke a little too space-agey for me so Bauer or CCM it is.
Someone in another thread mentioned second-hand. Anyone ever go that route? It is kind of distasteful, thinking of someone else's dirty dogs in there, but they must go through some sort of restoration/de-stinkifying process. It'd be nice to get high-end skates for cheap. I've got small feet so if some teenager outgrew his size 9s after 2 months, I'd be in great shape.
