Aight, here's the deal. I already have a pair of Line Nick's, but I was thinking about getting another twintip all mtn. ski. I can get a pair of '02 165cm Candides for $120 (no bindings), some 02' 169 cm 1080's for $250 (no bindings), or some 03'175cm PR's (with bindings) for 425$. Which is best for the money and terrain??? I'm 5'7 or 5'8 and 135 pounds. Thanks yo.

Candide for sure, it's one of my favorite all-mountain skis, regardless of the fact that it's a twin

PR only cause its the fattest and longest, think about it this way, shorter is for park, longer is for all mountain, I ski like 80 percent park, in 5'4' and I got 174's, and your nicks are 171, so you dont get a shorter park oriented ski like the candides or concepts for all mountain, you get the longest you can

but MN's are fine for all mountain and everything, why waste your money on a second pair?

Candides are what you should get for a second pair. If you live in the East (which is what it says on your profile), then PRs are worthless. Only buy those if you are skiing pow on a regular basis. Get some candides because they float well, yet they are stiff enough to set an edge on that great East Hardpack (ice). A friend of mine had last year's 1260s, but now rides Candides. He won't go back to Line. You might not either.
