Jessup,
It looks by your post that you've made up your mind. My only words of advice are:
Don't get any boots where the main thing that keeps the flaps together is velcro. I bought some low-end (lowest-end) Alpinestars, and the velcro wears out very quickly. My next set of Alpinestars are fantastic (SMX somethings).
Good luck with the Sidi's. I've heard good things about 'em.
