i have both the 05 armada AR5s and the 04 publics. i dont know about the new improvments on the publics but the 04 were alittle better all mountain and alittle worse at park. Where the 05 armadas were the opposite, worse at all mountain, but not that much, and better in the park. I suggest you go for whatever YOU think. both are awesome skis.

PE...and K2 measures the running length of the ski...so a 179 is more like a 183 or so.
