I've had a couple pairs of ME7 as well, but have each time ended up back on the XC shoe end of things. the ME7 buckle always seemed fussy to me, but it is pretty low-profile. I think my beef with the ME7 is that it always felt like it ran hot. My feet felt like they were cooking in them. But they fit the bill in so many other respects as far as performance and aesthetics that are not full-skate.
