Climbing shoes... Sportiva again or change it up?

I typically climb in Sportiva's. I have lace up Miura's for more techy stuff and Cobra's for steeper stuff. I am considering getting another set of Miura's and and was considering also getting Solution's.

So, with those two type of shoes as my benchmark, can you recommend a similar in fit, quality, and performance, yet cheaper alternative?

Thanks...

I switched from Miuras to Anasazis (velcro) a couple of years ago and have been satisfied. I use them on everything and wear my street shoe size.

I just switched from anasazi velcros to womens miuras. Fit is just a little better for me. If the shoe fits your foot I would stick with what you got.

Miura. but its like cromper said, its what fits your foot best. The Mithos are very comfortable and perform well also. I got a free pair of Testarosas, and for me they don't fit my foot as well as the others mentioned; bothered the lower part of ankle bone. MadRock Hooker Zip was excelent shoe also.
