Which riedell skates should I get?

I'm 14, 54kg (roughly 120lbs) and 170cm (roughly 5'7"). I am working on getting my axel consistent (I land it about 50% of the time) and starting doubles. I'm working on my layback and beginning flying camel. It's nearly time for me to get new skates, and I think I'm going to get riedell. Do you think I should get the 435TS of 1310LS? Have you had any experience with these skates? If they aren't good, what other skates would you recommend? Also, are riedell for narrow or wide feet? My feet are fairly average sized, a bit on the narrow side. Thanks!

P.S. Also, for blades I'm thinking either coronation ace or coronation comet. Opinions? Suggestions? Thank youu =]

Update:

anyone?????

    im 15, with about the same detentions (im just a tad shorter), working on perfecting my axel, double loop,toe,and sow. flying camel , flying sit,riffle,layback that kinda of stuff, so about where you are. i haven't tried the 435ts or 1310ls, but last year when i was looking for skates, it took me alot of tries to find skates that were comfortable, but could do what i needed them to do.(i bought and exchanged about 4 different pairs lol) then i tried the ridell 2010 LS ( http://riedellicepilot.groupinsite.com/ProductDeta... ) SO NICE, probably a little higher up then i needed, but these are the best skates i've ever had, a few of my friends got them to and they all love them, so i highly recomend them. as for sizing, you can custom order the width, (i have really wide feet, but one of my friends that got them have really narrow feet, so it doesnt matter) as for blades, im not sure but do some research on them and see what some reviews say about each
