OKay, heres the deal. If my Armadas dont get warrantied, I need new skis. Ill be down south this weekend, so I can pick up some deals. I ski like almost all park, and If warrantied, my t-halls are being replaced with ARV's. Now, I need a park ski. Im looking at....
171/176 Ar6.............479$
171 Invaders............315$
175 TNK.................350$
175 TM'. w/Px12 jibs....699$
For the pairs that dont come with binders, ill be mounting them with FKS 120. Im like 5'7, 135 lbs, type II skier, and ride at a DIN of 7. will the invaders be too short? These prices are CAD>..............

do not get those tms w/ p12 jibs for $699, you can do much better than that

??
TMs are like $280 online right now, unless of coarse were talking 08, even then pretty sure it's way cheaper far as i remember my US-Can conversions

yeah, it ends up to be about the same after shipping and the conversion. These are from a shop, so im willing to pay the extra 50$% to support them.
So far im leaning to the invaders and TNK. Im gonna get hy t-halls warrantied, adn replaced with an ARV(Tyson said its cool), so yeah..Invader or TNK??? Invader too short??

176 t-halls are about the same length as 178 invaders... Armada mearures surface area while Line measures tip to tail so get the 178 center mount and you will be fine and you will love them

when you say armada counts surface, are 185 ARVs, 185 being 2-3 inches above my height, actually going to end up being like 6inches over me?

go with some tm's you can def. get some 07's for like, 300-400 check, tramdock.com and evogear.com. as long as you know how to treet your edges those skis will last for ever.

scratches seem like a nice deal, 2 of my friends have them, and they love them. I have the t-halls, and tried my friends scrtches, almost the exact same ski, except they wre a little shorter mine being 176's there's being 174's, and they were a tad bit stiffer than the t-halls. But yeah, they r a solid ski, id say scracthes!

i have scratches, i love them. i also love tnks, but they're too small for me. if you can rock a 175, i'd say get the tnk.

I would prefer the TNK, because if I understand correctly, it is stiffer then the rest of the noodles you mentioned. A stiff ski really does help your park riding, and you can get the Chonic for only $250 or so right now at Porters with the promo code Meatloaf.
