i have ridden both and actually own the antigen. the wednesday is a much better ski over all. it is wider and stiffer to handle all-mountain conditions. my antigens are okay the quality is sub-par but they are libertys price point ski so wasnt expecting the most of durability. the faction wedesday is a higher quality and imo will bring you more enjoyment.

Faction tend to do stiffer skis, which can result in better overall-mountain performance, park and durability. More expansive, but you get what you're paying for. 

As the previous answers stated ; if you are on a budget or if you're the kind of guy that destroys skis every season, go with Liberty. (Especially now, Evo got the 184 size going for 380$ + another 20% at checkout...)
