Replying to 1080 foil and xwave 8 free

thedutchmayn:
before i kick this off i am saying that i searched but all i could find was some arguments and i couldnt find a staright answer. one person says theyre great all mtn. some say theyre too sloppy all mtn.

so, im 5'8'' and about 130 pounds. i like to ski pow and im getting mroe into park. i just tried on some xwave 8 frees in store and they were very comfortable but felt stiff. the 1080 foils seemed a good alternative as they arent as stiff. ive heard from some people the 1080's are too lsoppy but then again i dont know theyre weight or what they ski. i was thinking they would be good for me since im light and probably wont overflex them. am i right or completely off? suggestions would be helpfull. if your going to comment on the boots if you've tried them, state how much you weigh etc so i can compare o myself.
