Rossi Scratch vs AR7 DURABILITY

Just rotted the core and ripped out the bindings on my old skis:( both skis will perform equally for me so what it comes down to is purely the durability. I have a problem with destroying skis quickly, i live in the midwest and hit tons of rails so weak edges can be a problem.
How does the Rossignol Scratch compare to the ar7 as far as durability goes?

Also, im about 6 foot 165 lbs, if i were to get the scratch id definitely go 181 but undecided on the 176 or 181 ar7

both solid skis. They are probably on the same level of duriabilty. Which one is actually gonna last longer is hard to say.
And for sake of argument skis on the same level Ace of spade TI, Volkl wall, and maybe Kastle james.

cant speak for the rossi but i personally love the AR7. I got about 15 days on it and the durability is excellent. Solid, fun ski for anything your trying to do (besides deep pow)

I've rode scatches for about 30 days so far and they've held up great. No problems whatsoever.

Do you hit lots of rails?

Bump, ordering tonight, still undecided but leaning towards the Scratches because I can get them cheap with a pair of Fks

I would definitely recommend the AR7s. Mine have about 50 days on them, and the only damage they have is a few edge cracks (none of them have pulled out, or even look like they're going to pull out) also, if you're 6 ft tall, you should probably go for 181

I hit a lot of rails and I had the s4s, after about 35 days I had about 4 inches of edge missing and more was about to come of
