Default Danner Boots Opinions

Looking into Danner Boots. They are having a sale on the Acadia since it's being phased out and it's about 50% off for Made in USA boots.

Looking between the Desert Acadia which has Dri-Lex lining provides vapor transport. No gore-tex for waterproofing. Guess it's meant for hot weather. But since it's upper is made from rough-out leather (suede), wonder if it will be ok for the occasional puddle or crossing a very small stream while hiking?

The other pair I'm looking at are the Desert Acadia 400G. It has waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX liner will keep you dry and the 400 grams of Thinsulate Insulation will keep you warm. Will the 400g of Thinsulate be too much for normal so. cal weather (summer?)?

Reviews on-line seems to be good for the Acadias. Anyone have experience with them? Thanks.
