Has anyone experienced any shell cracking on these? It seems to be more common across the Internet than what I'm comfortable with.

Not sure if this helps anyone but I just measured the shell weights on the Nordica Unlimited 130 LT and Tecnica Cochise 130 DYN, both in 26.5
Tecnica 1403g (Consistent with Blister's review)
Nordica 1290g
had a 1-2 break, but not many really.
and nordica replaced then ASAP, including a pair that where used for patrol for 150+ days.
This input of yours was very helpful since I've both a Pro and a Speed machine 130 and looking at the LT. How would you say the flex compared to the Speed and Pro is? IMHO there's a noticeable difference between the two where my feeling has always been that Speed has a tad softer flex than the pro. I also always had the feeling that I've a more upright position in the Pro even though the specs says that the Pro has 1 degree more forward lean than the Speed. But that might come from that the flex of the Speed actually is softer than the Pro?
I sell all 3, but have not skied any of them, so not sure on the intimate details. Odds are pro felt stiffer due to stiff/better liner?
Yes that could very well be so but I've also the feeling that the shell plastic isn't 100% same. I maninly use Speedmachine when it's really cold cause the shell/liner is a bit roomier so I use a beefier sock and then it's fine but in spring-like conditions then it's really a noticeable difference in stiffness/flex I reckon.
Anyway this thread is about the Unlimited so trying to get a feeling of the estimated LT stiffness/flex. I could live with if the LT is close to or similar to any of the two alpine versions but not if it is experienced as a lot softer than the Speedmachine. Allthough since it's a top of the line AT boot I would expect there's not much difference over a change in temperarure like the Speedmachine. Any of your customers who ski any of the three in combination? Any feedback re. the flex/stiffness in comparasion?
