Merrel Boot VS. Eddie Bauer Boot?

Hello!

To be short and sweet, I'm currently looking at hiking boots and I initially narrowed it down the Merrel moab 2 mid waterproof because I've seen a lot of great reviews and it seems to fit my needs. With the discount i was going to purchase them for $108. However I just noticed that Eddie Bauer's Lukla Pro Mid Hiker is 50% off and I can get that for $89. I haven't been able to find many reviews on this boot and was wondering if anyone had experience between the two. I see its technically worth more than the moab 2 but does Eddie Bauer actually make a better boot or is it just the brand?

Thanks.
