Replying to Dad wants PE's

My dad is looking at new skis and he wants to get the K2 PE for $280. I am trying to find a better deal right now and convince him to go with somethin else. He doesn't want to go much over $300 so if anyone knows of any deals around that would be sweet.

He's 5'9, 170 lbs. Skis mostly groomers, and some bowls here in Colorado so i want to find him some ARV's or Guns or BC's, but its hard at that price. At the least I could hook him up with a better ski of the same size. Let me know whats out there right now.
