m225wide or dominator mega for wide feet?

I admittedly am a cross rider but those forums are dead and with the number of mtb'ers on these forums I figured I could get better feedback here. I am looking for a good shoe for cross this season. Both the Dominator5 mega and m225wide are perfect in terms of a shoe that is stiff yet not uncomfy to ride in, as well as has the ability to take screw in toe cleats. I work at a shop and can get discounts on either shoe which is why my search is limited to these two companies. That being said I need to widest shoe possible. My road shoes are shimano wides and they fit fine. Since no one around here stocks wides it is hard to choose which would be wider. I wear a 43.5 with the shimanos and 43 with sidis and find that the normal width versions are slightly wider with the shimanos. Any feedback would be wonderful.

What is the question, exactly? Which shoe or how awesome a shoe made out of marijuana is? As far as which shoe, I use the Shimano M225s. I've had them for two seasons and have been happy with them. They have a ripe stank (as opposed to "dank") these days but aside from that they are going strong. I have no experience with Sidi shoes. I do have friends who are very happy with them, though I cannot give much of an opinion. In regards to a shoe made of marijuana, I don't smoke so it would not appeal to me. Plus, it seems to me that it would not be entirely durable.
