steve you are just jealous of my chronics.
man get a pair of lines if you are a person with strong legs.thats the only thing i would change about the chronics.i would give them more flex. if u are into going switch alot the deffinatley go chronics.plus know they have double the thickness in there edges and bases.armadas seem to hold up real well but dont get them if u hate all the cosmetic crap. like massive chunks taken out from the side of the ski becasue of the sidewall cut construction. yes i have to admit line did have there problems in the past becasue basically everyone i talk to that has last years skis or older(lines) they have totally destroed them,(de-lamed,cracked edges,etc.)but know they fixed it all the the chronics are solid. if you want more flex go with the twelve-sixtys. but the chronics have enought flex for me.good luck.
