Foils, better all mountain twin than the AR5, AR5's are a lil more park orientated

I have also skied both the Foils and AR5's, and for a typical 50/50 set up, the Foils would kill the AR5's

ive skied both. the foil has less swing weight than the ar5 if that matters. the ar5 will chip alot easier than the foils. my foils have yet to chip. the ar5 will probly have just a tid bit stronger edges and the foils are pretty durable. the foil will carv better and do better all mountain. and is alot more stable on jumps, rails, and all mountain. i would go foil
