What's the biggest difference between these and the Nepal Evo's? More insulation?

Thanks

Edit: What warrants the slight increase in price over the Nepals?

The integrated gaiter makes them much warmer and keeps the laces out of the way.

Thanks Autoxfil

They seem to have a new boot up on the LA site, batura evo. Any idea what the changes are in the new model?

My understanding is the new model has a different zipper and new graphics. Other than that the description on the La Sportiva site is identical as are the reviews.
