I have AR5s... my buddy has Invaders. Quality-wise, the AR5s are superior. They're stiffer, better for all-mountain, and can hold at decent speeds. The Invaders seem lighter, WAY softer, but get really chattery. Invaders seem like a purely jib oriented ski... whereas the AR5 can hold it's own just about anywhere.
heh i agree considering the invaders a super buttery and not very durable hence the cheap price, while the ar5s (at least the 176) a relatively stiff and much more durable while more expensive. pretty different skis all around
if there wasnt a delam problem with the invaders i would get them but i dont get out of the park very much and if i do i would probly use my other skis
