they're pretty similar. But i always loved the flex on the silencers.

Silencers are actually quite stiff I find. I don't like mine a huge amount, but they are a workable park ski and are actually pretty sweet in bumps and decent on groomers. I have never even seen a pair of punx in real life though, so I can't compare them.

thanks i really appreciate the input, are the urban punx so soft that their not very manageable on the slopes ,in particular groomers ? i live on the east cost (pa) so on occasion if its not complete ice i like to take some actuall runs.

i have 171 invaders and my friend has 173 punx and the punx are stiffer. they have a medium flex that is constant through out the ski. the invaders really just flex at the butter zones. the flex of the punx is comparable to addicts, maybe a little softer.
