Are the 05's pretty much the same as the 06's? I'm looking for a good all round ski. Any other cheap reccomendations would be helpful. What are some good inexpensive bindings and boots to look for too?

What do you mean if my shop still has them? They're the brand new ones.

Same exact construction with the exception of the new p tex topsheet, only 5mm wider through out. k2 did not intentionaly make them stiffer, although the added width and extra wood/more area makes them stiffer flexing than they were in previous years.
According to the K2 rep, its the exact same ski/ but the extra width = more "horsepower"

"HORSEPOWER" means you can ride them faster in crud and pretty much anything and they will be less chattery. More stable

its physics.... the whole equal and oposite reaction thing... The new PE allows u to push it harder, thus generating more power back at you
