Trouble maker or PE?

I'm lookin for a new ski to replace my loved concepts and do pretty much everything on the mountain. I'm in the east so not much powder and mostly hardpack. About 5'10' 130 lbs, I'm thinkin 169 PE's or 175 TM's. My concepts are 180. Are they pretty much equal all mountain? Any body know how they handle in the moguls? I know the pe has some sort of thicker edges, does the tm have anything like that? Are the edges really that big of a difference? The new spring construction on the tm sounds pretty nice.
I'm also kinda biased towards dynastar due to the performance of my concepts. Right now I'm thinking Trouble Makers, but can't get the PE out of my mind.

If you're 5'10' you should probably be riding a bigger ski than the 169 PE's. I'm 5'7, 140 lbs and I ride the 179 and its fine for me. The PE's are really good overall skis. I've tried the TM's for a couple of runs and I prefer the PE's.
I'd say demo both and then decide.

PE...or the seth pistol...them things win in my mind

'When I'm mad as fuck you get shot and to some it's bad luck, I believe you held something back for too long, it grew strong and energy got its own will, and people think that we make music still, but music is there without you or me we just minipulate for better or worse so let it situate.'

The problem is I'm fairly certain there would be no way I could try either of these skis out

yeah thats my debate too, i can get trouble makers with the jib bindings for $500 or PEs without bindings for $350 which do you think is a better deal

PE's without. that's a good deal. My advice for bindings is nab your old ones. What I do take them off other skis. I never buy new bindings.

PE's were sick until i snapped them dropping into Corbet's Couliour in Jackson Hole. Cheap pieces of chinese crap. actually they were pretty solid skis for the east coast but i don't trust the chinese construction and i have heard of the dye-cut 'Public Enemy' in the base pulling out
