Could someone explain to me the pros and cons of MSPs dual radius design? . Apparently these skis have a radius of 22.5 meters from tip to waist and 26 meters from waist to tail.  It'd be great if someone could explain to me what it feels like to ski on something like this and why they decided to have different radius for different parts of the ski.  Are my turns going to be really strange and inconsistent?

I think it just means theres a little more sidecut in the front to help them turn quicker, but then the tails are straighter to make them stable and make big turns? I can tell you for sure that the turns aren't "inconsistent", they like to make big long turns, and really excell at higher speeds. I don't think they are the greatest tree skiing ski, and don't make super quick turns, but someone might argue with me on that. If you're looking for an all mtn/park ski I'd def pick these up.
