Afterbang or 2012?

So need new skis for next year and just need a little help choosing. I've narrowed it down to eighter Line Afterbangs or Salomon 2012's based on that I've been riding Invaders for 2 years now and I'm very happy with those. The skis will mostly be used for rails and pipe, but some jumps as well. Easy presses, butters, good pop etc. is a must. And based on the feedback from people here who's demoed the 2012 that also sounds like a fun ski. But I've heard a lot of complaining on the base on the afterbangs, so is the bases on the afterbang different from the invaders? thanks

ya seriously OP! do you have like hookups or something?? haha /sarcasm

on a serious note i own abangs and demoed the 2012s a few times.  if your doing smaller stuff and sticking to rails and jibs n such then def abangs are the way to go especially with salomons questionable edges over the past few years.....also the abangs are a price point ski wheres as im pretty sure that the 2012 is going to be more of a "higher end" ski.  rocker in the park is just starting up as is the whole "skateboard deck" of the abang. the 2012 is stifer and wider (92?) abang (88) so they are 2 pretty different skis
