Using Alpine Skis for Tele and AT

Howdy howdy. I am an alpine skier, and I also screw around on my old pair of Solomon Super Mountain Alpine skis which I had mounted with G3 tele bindings, and some old 2 buckle tele boots from a swap. I was just reading about all these hotshot AT setups, and was wondering what the difference is between the tele and AT skis, vs. regular alpine skis with tele/AT bindings? I've heard of weight being a factor, but I'm a bigger guy (over 200lbs) and don't want something super floppy. Also, there is always the price factor- recycling my old alpines, etc.

I was also a little confused. In the article, it looked like they had tele boots on some AT setups, AT boots on others, and even alpine boots on the burly setup they showed. Is there some level of interchangability (is that a word?) between boots?

Mostly just curious about general info on how the different setups can be used.
