How do the Sir Francis Bacon and Blends compare flex-wise? I'm thinking of buying one for an everyday ski...is the SFB still as playful and buttery as the Blend?

The Blend is super soft in the tip/tail with a transition/hinge point to relatively stiff underfoot.



The Bacon has a more even medium flex throughout the ski, no obvious hinge point. In my experience the Bacon is a better ski in nearly all conditions.
