Line skis durability

so I've skied around 4 days total on my Line blades, and I'm noticing that they're getting beat up a lot more than my mindbenders, which have maybe close to 20 days on them from last season. there's literal chunks missing from the topsheet on the blades, just little areas a few millimeters long on the edges of the topsheet. the wood is visible, though there is still epoxy covering it. even with 20 days on the mindbenders they're still nowhere near as beat up, and I arguably rip them even harder than the blades.

I remember seeing someone mention in a thread that they've had issues with the durability of their skis from Line, and I may or may not have seen someone say something similar in another thread. is this just a trend with Line skis and should I let back a bit so I can not beat them to shit in a season or two?
 
It's pretty consistent. They cut costs on the top sheets to fit their price and weight targets bracket. Excluding the tuff top they have. K2 compares price wise but they're consistently on the heavier side and that's where their durability comes from.
 
i cant speak on the blades since they arent a twin tip but my chronics had the edge come apart on the tail and the base of the ski and topsheet completely delaminated in about 20 or 25 days of skiing
