Have a pair on order. They will be here Tuesday
I've used the combo shoes (as plate shoes only) for the past two seasons. I really like the way they feel on my feet. I decided to give the hi-tops (true plate shoes) a try for two reasons. 1) I got tired of fooling with the velcro on the combo shoes and second I think a high top will keep my Davis Wilson shin guards a little higher on my legs and they won't come down as far out of the legs of my pants (I wear plate pants and the guards still come down a little far for my liking). The only general drawback I've seen to either shoe is the soles aren't a turf type like you'd find on some other models of plate shoes. Occasionally I do find my self sliding a little on hardpan surfaces behind the plate. But it's a not much of a tradeoff for the comfort factor.
I have a friend in AA ball and he swears by his Nautilius plate shoes as well.
