If you started to climb lat year and really want to progress I would go for as soft shoe as possible. This will make some problems harder to do but you will increase your strength in your toes. If you go with a harder down turning shoe, you will not develop as fast :)

Testa Rossa is my personal favorite among the La Sportiva shoes.
@ jarnov First of all, how long have you been climbing? What's your level (routes / boulders)? Where are you going to use those shoes (gym / rocks)? Do you climb mainly on slabs, vertical walls or maybe overhangs? What kind of shoes do you use at the moment? Consider one more thing: there is no such thing as "perfect shoe for all purposes" :) By the way, I would never call LS Solution a "moderate shoe"!
Have you considered the La Sportiva Men's TC Pro Climbing Shoe. A good review can be found here
