I love my Bent chetlers! They are softer than the jj's, an they just float! The jj's are beeing made at Atomics factory, so both are great quality

To be honest, they basically have the same exact technologies, even down to that 50/50 sidewall. However, they are different in width and flex. Both have a similar flex pattern, but the JJ is noticably stiffer and ultimately more versatile than the Bentchetlers. I'm assuming they both have that same turny, short turning radius feel. So if you like a softer ski, go with the Bentchetler. If you prefer a stiffer ski with some good flex capability, go JJ.

The JJ is a stiffer ski.
The JJ is stiffer underfoot and softer in the nose and tail.
The Chetler has a fairly constant medium flex throughout.
