id go with the ar6's just becuase it is more of an all mountain ski compared to the dumont. It is a tiony bit wider than the dumonts. Dumont-83 waist ar6-85 waist.

Dumont's anyday. It's Salomon's best ski.

I've got AR6s and they're not heavy but they aren't light either. Just mid-range. Also, the topsheets get absolutely raped, which may not seem like a big deal but its annoying as hell when you eat it on a jump, get up and see a strip out of your topsheets on the snow. I havn't tried Dumonts but i'd go with them
