Need help choosing between skis

So, I have a couple of skis that I'm looking to buy, if anyone can comment on any experience they've had with them that'd be awesome.  I'm currently looking at:

Atomic Smoke
Atomic Smoke TI
Salomon XWing 8R

In what situation would the extra $200 for the Smoke TI over the Smoke be worth it? and between the TI and 8R which is better? Thanks guys in advance :D.

Uh, I've been skiing for 5 years around the holidays at Killington, my ability is level is probably at 2.  These would be the first pair of skis that I own, I've been using rentals up until this point.  I'm not sure, is that telling enough?

Just go with any ski that is low-price. It's your first ever pair of skis so you shouldn't be too picky, you'll be happy with either. Have a good ski season bud!
