tweaks are underrated. everyone will say AR5's, and they are good skis, but so are tweaks. Either would be a fine choice

i would say ar5's just because i never really see anyone on tweaks, and their may be a good reason for that

agreed with the one above, no1 seems to ride them, anywhere, i think armada is basically like at least one company in any sport, they are kinda like not-ultra huge been around forever brand but they are basically number one because of the name, like s&m is to biking, people seem to buy it for the attention or whatever

What nomen said...
The tweaks are great but might be a bit too stiff to be great in the park. They are good in the park but it's a bit more effort to flex the tweaks then it is to flex the Ar5's... for that same reason though, the tweaks are better all mountain.
Very underrated ski.

exactly what I thought when I read your post title, and I agree fully, while not trendy on NS, tweaks won't let the all mountain skier down

My tweaks plowed through the crud and everthing else on the mountain, when it comes to park they were just what I wanted. They are very light too. Dont underestimate those skis. My friends also loved their AR5's. I would go with the better price, because like mentioned before, they are both good skis.
