i have the opportunity to buy either the 178 '08 invader or the 179 Bluehouse MR for cheap, im 5'9" 145lbs and am pretty much an eastcoast park rat...what do you guys think? are the invaders worth it, or should i take the plunge with a new company?

I got to see the MRs on saturday and they look sick. construction looked great, they have beefy edges, and are pretty light. the graphics also look sick. Not that invaders aren't sweet but I think the MRs are definitely worth a shot.

Bluehouse has shipped there skis just recently, so if I was you, I would wait a month or two and see the reviews on the MR before you go buy either ski.

I doubt many people will get to ski them within the next month. It'll just be kids saying "My MR's are so cool looking." I'm curious to ride them though.

I imagine the Invader is still a park ski this year, no? So it will be soft, I guess. MR will be stiffer, I guess that means better all mountain for you. It's up to you really, have you got a quiver?

nah this would be my one ski, but i think ive decided to go with the MR...the guys ive been in contact with over there at bluehouse have been super awesome so i thought i might as well support them...and if it doesnt work out, 250 for a ski for one season isnt that regretful

thanks for your help guys
