the PE is more for all mountain. ar5 works good all mountain, but is awesome for park. the PEs are a little stiffer, so they are more stable at speeds, but they are hard as hell to butter on.

durability seems about the same, but ive heard armada is great with warranties.

if you dont want to butter PE is awesome for park. its got a little more sidecut than most park skis, but not alot. they are a little bit heavier, but they are also more durable.

you might want them a lil further than 2cm from center if you plan on skiing pow often... I have mine at +6... so thats about 4 away from center if you call center +10 or 10.5... they work well as I ski in the east.. bumps and park, I love em

pe is wayy stiffer. if you're looking for something that'll hold up real nice outside the park, go for the pe.

ar5's are lighter and just plain better skis, publics are good too and they're definitely tanks but they are pretty heavy
