I am trying to decide what to get...I am torn between the Line SFB, K2 kung fujas, and the Line Opus.  I ski out west twice a year about 15 days and the about a week on the east cost. I currently have the Rossy Scratches... What do I do?  I found the 2011 Kung Fujas brand new for $399....should I buy these and the Opus?  Is there a difference between the 2011 and 2012 Kung fujas?

Thanks - So are you saying just own 1 pair (SFB) and sell the scratches?  Or should I get the 2011 Kung fujas for $399 and sell the scratches and then also get the Opus?

Opus and keep the scratches. I have the Kung Fujas and they are a really good ski, but this is because i only have 1 pair. If i had the choice of 2 pairs of skis i would defiantly take a narrow park ski and then a fat pow ski like the opus, or something even wider.

I dunno. I love my opus but I am finding that my bacons are so much easier to throw around. True quiver of one. You could get that and be good.

Really?  I am going snow-cat skiing uo in Soldier Mtn. in ID later this year...Hopefully some deep powder...Can the SFB handle deep powder?  I found New 2011 Kung Fujas for $399...I can sell a burton snowboard and my rossy scratches and afford to buy the K2's and anther pair....so I was thinking about getting the Opus and the Kung fu's....or should I just buy 1 pair and get the SFB?

If you can only afford one ski get the SFB, but if you can afford two by all means get the opus it's an awesome pow ski

KEEP THE SCRATCHES. GET THE BACONS. PERFECT SETUP escpecially if you only ski east coast most the time the opus's would be overkill

I just bought a new pair of 2011 K2 kung fujas for $399!!!!!!! I couldn't say no! I am going to buy the Line MPO's to have the best setup...all mtn and powder! What do you recommend for bindings for both?

if they are going to be anything other than a pure park ski keep the 179s, if they are going to be a pure park ski, then its up to you, I would probably still keep the 179s.
