The Verse line is based off of the 1080 design (a few years ago, the blue ones) The 5 repersents how stiff they are. They are a intermediate carving ski, ok for the bumps, ok in the air, but NOT a twin tip. The 720 has a more turned up tail then the Verse.

they are ment for beginner to intermediate, not any higher, they weren't ment to ski backwards even if you turn up the tail, they flex as much as rubber, so if you do ever get them don't blame it on Salomon if they suck, because chances are they're goign to break in less than 1 season. I almost did the same 2 years ago and I was told the same thing here, but I suppose if your short on cash and you wnat to get Salomons that bad more power too you....

Check out what this person had to say about the Verse 5's:
'Excellent skis. Went from An lower intermediate to an upper intermediated as soon as I doffed these beatuies. a fun ski for doing everything.'

Woah! and you know you should trust 'em as they 'doffed' them. and what does he/she mean by everything? i highly doubt air.

so seriously no, don't get 'em.
go to skinet.com and go to Gear and they have this interactive feature that's pretty nice. even got newschool stuff

and i think some guy is selling used 720's in the ewuipment forum so check that out
