I'm sorry to temp you. I went back and forth and ended up ordering the Gumleaf. I end up using the Lacrossa and Gumleaf about 50/50. I know what you mean about having that little bit of extra length. I overtopped both these boots scouting last year about this time. If you don't own a boot dryer, let me tell you, they are the best thing since sliced bread. I will not go without having a boot dryer.
I also carry hip waders in the truck and chest waders. A couple of my spots are chest wader only. Hip waders will not cut it. The bad thing about those is they are not really packable, and the hip waders are bearable but have cheap boots on them, and the chest waders are heavy, hot and noisy and suffer from the same cheap boot bottoms. They are not comfortable to walk any distance in. I'm seriously considering some Wiggys Waders.
