Trying to figure out what to get for this season. Last year I had the 3.0(the ones with no titinal under foot) and absolutely loved them. I'm 185 6' 2", used to compete in racing and big mountain so I want a ski that can spin, butter, charge, stomp, carve, and haul ass(I know it's a lot to ask for). I don't ski anything under a 190, I'll punch front or over drive the tips with the amount of rocker in these skis. My pow skis are faction chapter 116(16/17 made stiffer than other years)

icelantic nomad 105/105 light - probably more durable than 3.0 still very playful. Do the tips and tails hang up weird because they don't have any taper?

3.0 - super playful responsive and likes to speed, so light that can almost be knocked around on firmer stuff at times but not too bad. Durability issues
 
Haven't skied the 3.0s but I have ridden the Nomad 105s. I definitely felt like the tips kept catching on stuff and was a big reason why I decided not to go with them. I also felt that the edge to edge speed was fairly slow.
