AR6 vs. STL

Has anybody ridden both? I rode next years AR6's but unfortunately I didn't get to take them through the park so I have no idea as to how they ride in the park. The STL looks like a sick ski, but I'm hesitant to buy 4Frnts. What are your opinions?

the ar6 is fun, but i love the stl. i've skied the 07 and 08 183 stl in park and all mountain scenarios. they're really stable and carve great on high speed groomers. they're quick and maneuverable in trees and shallow pow. in the park, they're really light and poppy. great for anything from jibbing around to 60 foot tables. super stompy feel on landings. aaaand they ride switch unbelievably well.

the ar6 rides pretty much exactly the same with the main difference lying in the fact that it feels softer. i weigh like 170 pounds, so i really like the stiffer feel of the stl. if you're a little guy, however, you may like the softer ar6... that's a call you'll have to make.

Buy 4frnts or they'll threaten "legal action" against you.

Not a word of a lie, they did it to a friend of mine.

Wow, are the STL's that stiff (I mean, for a park ski I guess). I heard they were soft in the tip and stiff in the tail? Is that true? I only weigh 155... and I'd like the ski to be a lil bit buttery.
