Rossi ScratchFS vs. Dynastar Trouble Makers (input needed)

So i broke the TM's this year(separated edge from sidewall) and i really liked the skis. But then i found the Scratches to be close in price. Does anyone know how they actually ski because im thinking of leanin towards the sister ski of the TM because its a bit wider at the waist and maybe the edge will hold up better.
Also i ski bumps quite a bit and the TM's couldnt take it that well (not compared to my Dynastar Candide Pros) and i was hoping that the scratch's would be stiffer.
Please.. some real feedback from people who have the scratches or have demo'd them.
Thanks.

umm im not to sure but just ripping your edge out doesnt wreck the ski...i ski'd on my tm's all year without edges
anywho i havent ridden scratches but next years tm's have re-enforced edgeroos
but i can see y youd want a larger ski

my scratch FS are amazing and really durable. They are more off an all mountain ski so they do really well outside the park, but i have the 04-05 so i dont know if they have changed

well. i dont like damaged equipment.. so i just aquire new ones. and i had a choice of TM's again or Scratch's.
After much debate.. i went with the ScratchFS in the same length that i had. im hoping them being 6mm wider doesnt affect me too much..
are wide brakes needed or can a bend standard ones?

the 05/06 scratches are such a sick ski!... they "ski" amazing, ski switch amazing, they have a constant flex pattern (no goofy butter zones) they are softer than kharmas but stiffer than say STLs or Lines... mine have held up amazing... i hit mostly rails and i have maybe 4 edge cracks total, nothing else. U will not be disapointed

thanks for the input.. but they do have an irregular flex pattern... here is the official specs:
The pro model for jibbing, terrain parks and half pipes
Mini ROSSITOP cap strengthens the top of the ski and is resistant to chipping for increased durability
Sidewalls are angled at a 30° incline to improve swing weight, reduce the overall weight of the ski and enhance edging
Softer flexing tips and tails, and stiffer mid-section let you load the tips or tails to spring up on a rail or hop up on top of a half pipe
Scratch FS has two mounting points; the back mounting point is for all-mountain skiing and the forward mounting position is for jibbing / big air
THC Hybrid core is made from three different materials: Isocore for lightweight and liveliness, wood for quick response and ski-to-snow feel and microcell for absorbing shocks and vibrations
As for the two mounting points.. i ski a lot of all mtn.. should i still mount at the park line?

its only like 2cm forward, id probably mount there for al mtn....there good everywhere with the 80-somthing waist...but....trouble maker pro models are awsome, just not quite as good in the pow as there not as wide.id say theyd b better everywhere else though.

he said it all. they are awsome on jumps to due to their stiffness.
since rossi and dynastar are owned by the same corporation they ski similer but the dimentions of the skis are different.
cant go wrong with eather but i personal think the scratch is better
