I happily use either the Mt Trainer or Rapace in the bush. The Rapace is stiffer but still not totally ridged (Salewa do a full on Alpine boot too) and the rand gives a bit better protection to the side of the foot than on the Mt Trainer.
Mt Trainer - Light, supple, very comfortable
Rapace - Light, more ridged, better side protection. Better suited to sideling and rocky terrain.
That's my opinion of them anyway and it is often the toss of a coin as to which ones I put on when I head out.
