Ok i am getting some new boots since my Blak/Silv/Orange boots no longer fit me :( ( I loved those boots). So basically im goin down on Saturday to get them. They positions I play are up front, winger and attacking midfielder. Unlike other people I will say what i like and dislike about each boot.
Adidas F50+ Black/Blue SG
Pros:
X-traxion
Look blacked out from distance
Nice snug fit
Clean Stike zone
Cons:
Weird matrial to clean
I heard the velcro gets dodgy
Cost more than the Legends
Nike Legends Black/White
Pros:
Classic Look
Soft K-Leather
Heel Counter
Cons:
Its Nike the last nike boots I owned got wrecked
Not sure about their Traxion
Anyway lets hear what you think. :D

ive gone with legends because i think they look good, and shouldnt be too hard to clean (exept for the lacing part :p ). the tongue is actually quite a good size and all that covered lacing on f-50+s doesnt make a huge difference- BUT LIKE EVERYONE SAYS IF THEY DONT FIT YOU PROPERLY GET GET F-50+S ;)

Legends. I have Mystics (black) and i am getting them in white for the summer. I am still interested in the red and white F-50+, though the legends look more durable and comfy.

I have both boots and the Legends edge it when it comes down to it. The
F-50+'s were fantastic when I tried them on and had a kickabout in them at my apartment but in match play htye didnt live up to my expectations.
The Toe box is too narrow and it brused my two big toes under the nail and the metal eyelet ring for the top lace caused a deep bruse on the inside of my left foot after repeated passing as well as on the outside of my right when I hit a strong volley.
They also are not as stable in the heel as the Legend and the support and impact cushioning isn't the best. I had a very bad leg break and if I come down hard on that same leg with little impact protection I can really get sore and my leg was killing after 4 hour session in F50's.
They are still a very nice boot but they just didn't end up working out for me that well.

Ah. Its too bad I cant try each on for a full game. I still think i would be fine in the 50s though. For my game on thurs i will be wearing Pulses which will be a quite different xperience.

i also have both boots and they are by far the best boots i have ever woren and trust me ive tryed every nike and adidas boot in the last 4 years aswell as some other makes. i cant speak more highly of these 2 pairs of boots. but the legends stability is like no other and that is why i think they are just that bit better than the f50+.

Ok a minor setback. No more Black/White Legends will be in until the 27th. So itsits either white legends or the F50+.

I havnt even tried on the legends but I played in my F50+ today and I love them. So comfortable and fit my foot perfectly. Only got to play for about an hour though because it got dark but I really like the way they feel.
