It may not seem the same sort of shoe at all, but I was forced into buying a new pair of shoes in Spain recently, after losing mine, and went for Tenaya Masai on the recommendation of the guy in the climbing shop in Leon. For what it's worth, I've been very impressed with them: they're sensitive and techy enough for the stuff you mention, but much comfier than any of the Instinct models. This year I've worn almost nothing else, and the Instinct VS (and the Instincts and the Instinct S) are gathering dust in the garage.
