PE's all the way. I've tried the PE and the Scratch (BC mind you) and the PE's own it.

I've skied them both. It depends a lot on how you ski. I noticed that in just skiing terms you have to be on top of the PE's or they run away from you. The FS is a lot more forgiving. I didn't notice a profound difference in the way they skied in the park, but I'm not very good, so that may have a lot to do with it. Really, you should go ski them both then pick which one you like the best.

THe Pes probably ski better but a lot of the early releases of the skis are breaking so I've been told. K2 warranties well, but it is a hassle so its probably better to go with Scratchs. But I just bought Trouble Makers for 450$ cdn, and they are the shit.

they both perform equally well in the park, but the scratchs are a bit stiffer, so if you want to focus more on bigair, big backcountry jumps, then get the scratchs. if you want a ski with a lot of pop, and a softer tail, then go PEs. both sick skis, id go with the scratchs
