What's lighter? What do you see yourself using in the majority of touring situations.

Depends on what the length of your tours are and the type of skiing you want to do in the BC. I think the bacon is lighter just fyi

The Line Francis Bacon all the way. Its a lighter, more agressive ski for all around conditions. When touring, conditions arent always knee to waist deep. You want the most versitile ski as possible while saving yourself the weight.
The JJ are heli skis. They weight a ton and ski like shit in hard pack.

lift access slack country i would go with the jjs.
neither are great for long approach big vert.
i think getting kitted with the right boots and bindings will matter more than the ski in this case.
