My buddy and I both bought Prolites 162 's this year. Only out once so far togeteher, switched back and forth to see differences. He picked his up with Jaws pipe, controller, and can with Powder Pro skis, and adjustable riser. Mine i got with just Jaws can , stock skis, HCR riser. we wereout in deep ,not set up snow with crappy visibility, we werent able to do any long climbs. out in the meadows they were pretty even but i think the pipe is gonna show up more on the big climbs, we'll see. i purposely left the stock skis on cause ive read on here some guys were liking them, not me, they sucked, especially going down steep in deep snow. Thank god for the belly pan, cause the skis do nothing but sink, I hated them, so did buddy, swithching back on forth we agreed the PP equipped sled was way more fun, coming down and turning back up, the PP were way easier and effective. . The trail was groomed on way out, the PP were even better there, but not as much difference. As soon as we got back I took the skis off, test over, I just put Polaris grippers on, my favorite ski. Going out again today, riding tomorrow and sunday, i"ll let you know my opinion.
