Like I have said all along, you get what you pay for. Now in, the case of the of the fujative, I think that K2 builds a more solid ski, and this is the second (third???) year of fuja production, so they have had more time to tweak the design. Personally, I love my chronics from last year, and I love what Line has done for the sport, But the Invaders and the bindings both seem to be good ideas that dont work in practice. The lesson: buy chronics.
