yeah... i had 03/04s then 04/05s then 06/07s and at first my 06/07s i thought seemed real sluggish till i got used to them. Now i find them to be more stable on the mountain, and even though they feel a bit heavier and aren't as forgiving flex wise i think i like them more just because I never feel like I can wash out if I land awkwardly on them. They do break in a lot which made them ski a lot nicer after about 5+ days out on them... idk i always love my pubs even though ive snapped 2 pairs of em.
