problem is, most haven't had a chance to try more than 1 or 2 skiis, so you're going to mostly get answers to what they bought, not necessarily what's better.....i tried the sno-pros on my 1000, good in powder....not good anywhere else, too aggressive....they bite too hard and will about pitch you off in crusted, rutted snow...same with spring snow....mixed reports on most other skiis also.....slp makes the straight line tracker that i've heard good reports from, but again, they were being compared to stock, not to other after market skiis....perhaps the new cat stock ski for next year might make a good overall choice....
