JOs are going to be stiffer, popier, and lighter weight than the invaders. They will also carve better due to their extra sidecut.

JO's are also not symmetrical, so they will ski a little better when you're not in the park. (unless you like the symmetrical ski feel)

J.O. Pros are a sick jump ski. They are nice and stiff, and they are super light (probably lighter than invaders). Downside, rails can kill the edges on them and I'm pretty sure they're foam core.

i ski mostly rails but i got JO's and they held up fine for me only 1 tiny edge crack that didnt amount to anything. i like them everywhere, park, pow (pretty good for a park ski), rails, trees, groomers. they're a really legit ski.
