I can't decide between these two skis, i mostly ski all mountain freestyle, (drops and natural jumps etc) also bout 30% pow (max 30cm deep) however I would also be skiing hard packed, (ive heard the on3p dont do too well on hard packed?, tell me if im wrong, I read a review of the Kartel 108 on blister, would the 96 be better) and also I like buttering and have heard the line sfb cant butter too well? Thanks
 
I love Bacons. Everyone I know who skis them does too. They are buttery but still burly. I have no experience skiing any ON3Ps. I'd say you can't go wrong either way. Get whichever is the better deal.

I have the 2016 Bacon's and I got them halfway through last season. They were demos and I used them on rails and stuff and no delam issues so far but I think they have changed them since then.

For what it's worth On3p measure post-press plus tend to be a hair longer than stated ie 186 will be ~186.2 . Line measure pre-press....184 is 182.7 tip to tail. Long story short....if you like a 184 Line then get a 181 On3p or vice versa. Best thing is live chat w On3p.
