i don't think the difference between the two is night and day so you'd probably be fine with the bc's.

does anyone know the dimensions for the ARV and AR5. I would check the website but whenever I go to the skis it messes up.

arvs, 90 mil waist in 175, ar5s change for every size, but they max out at 80 mms for the 180.

Oh and for the scratch bc vs the Arv, well, the scratch bc was partly responsible for the birth of the ARV(it's one of the inspirations for the ski, thanks Julien Lafforgue...), so either way you're doing well. For what it's worth, i ride bc's. So if you wanna be cool, I suggest ARVs.

I would just go for the better deal though. I don't know how either of the skis ride but I think you'd manage on the BC for a cheaper price. You could even get 04 BCs for cheap, I don't think you can find new Armadas for less than $500. If your parents are paying for them just get the Armada.
