I went through 3 pairs of 1080's in the course of 2 seasons. When they are new they ski great, they carve well, and are also good in pow. I have skiied the PE's too, and they skied well, and they will hold up better in the long run. Thus I would recomend the PE's, but the 1080's are also a good ski, they just are not very durable.
I have a theory that all retards have one long tendon that goes from wrist to wrist, so therefore that is why they always are screwin around with one wrist up, and the other one down.
