Amplid Antidogma or Atomic Punx

I am going between getting the Amplid Antidogmas or the Atomic Punx. I would be using them for about 35% rails 35% jumps and 30% freeskiing around the mountain. I can get the punx for $450 and the amplids for $550. So my question is have any of you used either ski and if so how do you like them, what are the good/bad things about each ski. Any help is greatly appreciated.
plus karma for helpful answers.

my friend has 173 punx and they are so sick. the flex is nice on them. lots of pop, good for rails. they are a little on the softer side of the spectrum but they arent noodley like invaders. unfortunately i dont know anything about amplids

thanks, +karma.
I have felt the flex on the punx and they feel real nice. I have heard that the amplids are very stiff and i'm not sure if they would be right for me since i don't weigh all that much. Does anyone know anything more about how stiff the amplids are?

I have no idea why the code isn't showing up when i type it, but is it the code what you listed or is it something different.

I rode the urban punx all season and they were my favorite ski I've ever ridden by far! really nice and flexy, so great for butters! Also because of the edge reinforcement they hold up great on rails AND it makes the ski stiffer underfoot which means you can still have better stability on rails and when landing jumps despite the skis softness. I had the 184s (im almost 6' and am about 170) and they were great! Also a very light ski, especially for that length, I highly recommend them.

thanks a bunch, +karma. I am starting to lean toward the punx now. and ignore my previous three posts, i got it sorted out. Anyone know how the flex is on the amplids?

Antidogma's have a very progressive flex pattern that can be described as "snappy". The ski is soft enough for effortless buttering, has tons of pop, yet is stiff enough to stomp off of large jumps.

i think you would be good either way. both seem like legit skis. i would go for punx because of the swing weight thing

i have the o7 08 punx and they are super sick, but if ur thinking about taking them out of the park its maybe not such a good idea. they are pretty soft and are super stable off jumps but dont have great control on mountain. the anitdogmas are great in the park and have a stiffer flex soo they charge better out of the parks
soo i would say go with the antidogmas.
