Different model, but same sole. FWIW I have the Genius's and find them to be more than stiff enough for my riding.

Edit - the other nice thing aboust Sidi's is that most of the stuff that wears out, like the rubber heel counter or the latches, is easily replaceable, so the shoes last a good long time
Yes, this is a big help. I think I would rather have the 5.5s if I could find them in the same price range as the Zephyrs but either one would probably work for me and they are cheaper than Shimanos.
I have been told in the past that stiffer is better, but as long as there are no hotspots then these will work for me.
