I love my Atomic B90's, but I'm a giiiiiirl.
I can't recommend Snowbound at Chatswood highly enough. Jeff fitted my boots. Checked out my foot, leg length, arch etc, then went away and gave me three to try on before finding the prefect fit and customising the footbed.
He is very informative as he goes, they have good videos for you to zone out to while all the fussing goes on.
They were around $600.

Get the to a (reputable) bootfitter.
Personal recommendations :
John Morgan - STM Bondi Junction
John ?? (Silence to help here) - Alpsports West Ryde
Richard Mould - Eiger Jindabyne
I also hear that Paul fella from Albury that posts here from time to time is pretty good.
Don't buy boots by brand, but by what suits your foot shape. The bootfitter will then make them perfect. This is not an off the shelf exercise, so book ahead and be prepared to spend a few hours in the shop (and possible follow up visits).

Have to agree with Taxman, get something that suits your foot.
Bought a pair of Head Edge10+ last year, only reason I choose them was they were the only ones that didn't hurt when I tried to get my feet in or out of them. Had them customised with the footbeds and adjusted then used them for five full days straight without any problems.
Just me just over $500 even though they were on special at the time.

custom footbeds make the world of difference... you'll think about sleeping in them

TC have you had those boots professionally fitted?

The brand that fits the best, is the best
I have Dalbello's which is what I assume you have. They fit really well, however now my feet are reacting to them so I have to keep having them blown out :(
I guess that's what you get for skiing 6 weeks straight (last season, not this one).
