I have to say, I do like the slipper feel of walsh pb's but they are quite inflexible and have eaten my feet several times when the terrain hasn't been ideal (ie. too hard or rutted). My favourite shoe is the x-talon 212 which does everything I want in a fell shoe, but they are fairly pricey and wear down astonishingly fast. I'll still be buying another pair however when mine are done in, and I'll still continue to use walsh when appropriate till they have worn down as well. I have it in mind that the walsh would make a decent road shoe as the studs wear off.

I also have a pair of mudroc 290's (which destroy my heels), 2 pairs of Harriers (favourite distance shoe) and a pair of baregrips (love these but slow me down on rocky descents). I think after much experimentation I'll likely stick with Harriers for long distance and talons for everything else.
