K2 Maysis or Burton Concord (Dual Boa)

I have a pair of K2 Raiders, and on Sunday my right boot ripped on the seems on both sides (where the boot flexes). I'm going to get it repaired but I'm considering getting a new pair of boots anyway. I'm getting into riding park more, but I'm a big guy (225 lbs) so I'm afraid that a soft boot isn't going to support my weight like it would an average rider. I guess I'm looking for boots that work well for bigger riders and absorb landings well.
This is why Im considering the Burton Concords, they're considered a mid flex boot so to me it might feel a bit softer than my current K2 Raiders, and I LOVE that they're dual boa that can control the fit of the upper and lower half of the boot. My only concern is that it's a brand new boot so there isn't much feedback out there about the durability or anything. And the shock absorption doesn't seem to be as good as the Maysis.
My second choice is the K2 Maysis which seems pretty good too, but the second boa on that just controls the tightness of the liner, which to me isnt different than a standard single BOA, also they have the same type of seem placement as my current boot and considered to be medium/stiff so I'm scared of the ripping being a problem again since im doing more park. The good thing about these boots is that they offer good shock absorption and response.
I'm torn. I have my heart set on dual boa with upper/lower adjustability because I always find myself having to over tighten Raiders because its single boa.
