Last year's B3 and this year's B4 are the same ski, so I don't know how you like one better than the other.

I've also never heard anyone say one is 'faster' than the other.

And as for the B4 being 'alot more ski' once again, it's the same, so I don't know how that could be.

The 178 sounds like a good size for you. If you are that aggressive, I'd suggest going a bit longer though.

It's actually a bit wider and it feels a little sluggish. They should have put the metal in the 185 that they put in the 195.

The legit Rossi this year is the Scratch BC and it's less expensive because the previous years demographic was younger. It's actually a much stiffer and better ski than the B4 and it's only $599 at sierrasnowboard.com

The 2004-2005 b3, and the 2005-2006 B4 are the same dimensions. If you want a b4 from this year, a b3 from last year is esentialy the same thing if you buy the comparable size.
