which ski has a stiffer flex or are they about the same? I heard that the step ups get softer as you ski them...how much?

Both skis tend to lose camber and stiffness as you ride them, just like any other ski really. The stepups seem to do it just a bit faster than chrons though. Plus step ups are heavier and tend to delam easier. I'd say go chrons but that's just my $0.02

183 Chronic Krypto - 2150g per ski

184 Step-up - 2015g per ski

So step ups are about 6% lighter

very true but the chronic crips have a better swing weight which is what really matters

Chronics, they're a lot of fun. Supposedly they have the same flex thought right? ANd besides actualy weight, how heavy it feels has to do with it's pop and swingweight characteristics. A heavy ski can feel light if it has a ton of pop.
