I have both. The Guardians sit lower on the ski, are lighter weight and therefore my recommendation. Good luck!

Not true - current Dukes come in a bit lighter than Guardians at 2.63kg versus 2.96kg.

The Guardians lack a flat tour mode but you can switch between modes without taking the ski off. I've had problems with Dukes pre-releasing badly so I'd go with Guardians. Although I haven't skied them myself friends who have haven't got on well with them.
