Its basically a second gen 1080 with some slight changes to the core and flex. Unless they're under $150, someones probably trying to SAC flip you.

I read somewhere else that they are heavy because of the bases is that true?

Is there any other park ski comparable to it in stiffness?

My friend bought both the lab and the SPK and from what we can tell, there is no notable difference.
