You should also consider the terrain you will mostly be hiking through. In an area where trails are typically dryer there would be little point in a gore tex boot and little point in heavily waxing a non gore tex boot. Gore tex may be more valuable in an area where the trails are very wet all of the time.

I really don't see either boot breathing all that well. Sweat needs to go from your foot, through your sock, through the boot lining and then through the leather and potentially add a gore tex membrane. Just too many barriers between your foot and the outside world for the sweat to pass through.
