I am going to buy one of these two skis and would like to know which one is better?

I have read plenty of reviews and I know in theory 2017 is a bit stiffer. Some say 2017 is better, some say it is ruined, because 2016 is the best.
Would like to know your advice! Maybe someone here has skied both?

I don't know if anyone on NS would admit to riding Soul 7's. Unless you're 60+ and have at least one hip replacement, look for a different ski.

lol i ride soul 7's

2017 is a bit stiffer and slightly different shape. more fun for charging big mtn imo.
the 2016 model is more fun for throwing tricks and doing stuff in the park but still holds up for most off-piste skiing.

personally there are a ton of better skis out there. Rossi marketing and 60 year old dads who cant ski hype the ski up way too much.
