Was planning on replacing my 4frnt devastors with some new 117 Moment Meridians. Then I saw some Sir Francis Bacons for dirt cheap.a

Do I pay the extra $450 for the some moments? Or do I cop some Lines for dirt cheap.

New Moment Meridian 117 are $524 from the factory right now.... so you're saying you found SFBs for $74????? If they're new, definitely do that wtf. Cop the moments otherwise if you can.

I have the 2016 sfb and I like them pretty good. If you're using them for mainly deeper/steeper shit the moments are probably better. But if the sfbs are a steal then cop my man.

This.

Seriously though, the SFB are going to be softer if I'm not mistaken. That said if you have a screaming deal on the SFB you can get them, ride them and sell if the aren't for you. You'll probably wind up in a similar monetary situation at the end of next season if the deal is right.

Saw that, but not in my length :(. So I was planning on getting the 2019s. I hate getting recent year skis and paying sticker for them but I havent found a ski that I like as much as my moments.

But the prices are good on the mordecai and bacon (cuz line isnt "core" anymore) and theyre the length im looking for.

The meridians will last 3x as long as the bacons. You get what you pay for and moment makes some of the toughest skis you can buy.
