Replying to Skogens or Mike Nicks?

Okay, I've read countless reviews and facts and crap about the Line 02-03 Skogens and Mike Nick pros. However, I can't friggin pick which one! Sadly, i can't demo them unless i feel driving quite far (which is becoming likely with every passing day). So what i really want to know, is which one is better for mountain runs, like crappy New England groomed shista. I've heard that the skogens are choppy, but then i've heard that the Mike Nicks are a little too stiff! I'M SO DAMN CONFUSED! Any input is good input!
FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO SKANK!
