New skis for next season

I am looking for a new pair of skis for this next season.

So basicly I have listed it down to these 3 skis:
Head Jon Olson Pro Model
- I demoed this one in Whistler, and this is by far the greatest ski I have ever skied. So light and a great soft tail.

Atomic Urban Triplets
- They are said to have great pop. And I have only heard one bad thing about them, and that is the extra edges.

Rossignol Ghetto
- Don't know if that is the name of it, but the new white/red/black ski they are sending out.
Read here on NS a few weeks ago that this ski was so awsome so that's why it is in the game.


Anyone have anything to say about these skis? Good and bad!
Right now I am going with the Jon Olson, but since I haven't tried the others it would be nice to hear from someone who have.


Thanks

you rode a ski and found it to be the best ski you've ever skied and that wasn't enough to convince you??

I don't know about those head skis. I had an old pair of mad-trix and i didn't really like them. They were a bit stiff and sketchy on the rails. I have Salomon Foils now (this years) and they kick the crap out of those heads. The only thing about the salomons is that their bindings suck. I have broken mine 6 times this winter.

well the triplets have been discontinued. They're now the punx and the urban punx.

A ski i've had my eyes on is next year's thruster's. They completely changed the shape and now its similar to the dumont for the 07-08 model.

Oh man u goota go with the rossignol.  Have you seen how damn sexy they are?!  No to mention Candide Thovex is far cooler than Jon Olsen.
