Well that would depend, i thought about bying them online and all but make sure you visit a store and touch them i dunno i find it special i have to get in touch and even try them so i know i am not spending 1k for nothing if you know what i mean.
Online is cheaper but the biggest issue you might have it communication problems incase something happens, you could get scammed hard so be carefull.
In my case i got my Z1 from europe because a relative was coming back and i wanted them (sux they didnt have the Z9s T_T). it all depends on what you want, how you are prepared to deal wiht the problems that might arise. However, there are online stores that end up being alot more expensive than local stores. Also, if your not to big on spending 1k over a pair then you could get them used i dunno if that would do it for you and how you plan on skiing and all but that is an option. Try ebay, the stores there seem okay for the most part.
If you go for some local store you can try them see what boots fit better and what z model or other ski models you might like better. the only issue there is that it will cost you more. It all depends on how keen you are on spending money.
In my case i want brand new stuff because i plan to skii long term and i dont mind spending more, plus i want to beg back in the competition so i am not afraid of spending the extra cash for comfort and peace of mind.
One last thing, make sure you get the propper boots for your skis i know that some of the z modells work best with some perticular boots better than with others.
I hope that helped.
