I have the PE's I wish I would have gotten the Foils though. I think the Foils are more durable and a bit lighter. Just my opinion though.

just buy some skis dude, you've been shopping forever. do you really want to waste the entire season looking for 'THE PERFECT SKI', and even when it'll be your first pair of twins? come on man, just get somethin cheap and go shred

i have no personal expeirence with either ski but you should probably try to demo them both if possible and foils have a foam core so that might go dead quicker than PE's but if your only riding like 20 times a year i think the foil's would be fine. You should really try to just demo them because it really depends on your personal impinion(sp)
